Ofsted review into sexual abuse in schools: terms of reference (7 April 2021)

Show Description

The government has asked Ofsted to undertake an immediate review of safeguarding policies in state and independent schools and colleges in relation to sexual abuse. The review will look at whether schools and colleges have appropriate processes in place to allow pupils to report sexual abuse concerns freely, knowing these will be taken seriously and dealt with swiftly and appropriately.

It will establish whether there is sufficient guidance for schools and colleges on how they should deal with sexual harassment and violence allegations, and whether they understand and implement guidance well. It will also seek to identify whether current inspection regimes in both state and private schools are strong enough to address concerns and promote the welfare of children.

Ofsted will work with representatives from social care, police, victim support groups, school and college leaders and the Independent Schools Council. The review will conclude by the end of May 2021 and will seek to establish where safeguarding arrangements and processes are good and have worked well and where improvements are needed.

Protecting young children at risk of abuse and neglect

Show Description

All children need protection and nurture to be able to develop and thrive, but those under five require particular support. The love and care provided by parents and caregivers lays the foundations for all future emotional, cognitive, and physical development. Sadly, many children do not receive adequate care and support. Abuse and neglect in the earliest years of a child’s life have been shown to have severe detrimental impacts on a child’s immediate well-being and development, as
well as their life chances and outcomes well into adulthood.

Talk it over – new resource to support discussions around online hate

Show Description

Childnet have launched ‘Talk it over’, a new research-led resource designed to support educators in facilitating empathetic, honest, and evidence-based conversations on online hate and how to tackle it with secondary aged pupils. This blog takes a closer look at this resource and the way that educators can use it to support the young people they work with.

The research behind the resource

In July 2020, Childnet undertook a research project with over 2000 British young people, aged 13-17 years old.

The research found that the internet is the most likely place for young people to witness hate and that 80% of young people had seen something hateful online aimed at a particular group in the last year.

We found that nine out of ten young people agreed that no one should be targeted with online hate because of their gender, race, religion, sexuality, disability or transgender identity. 72% of young people believe that people their age have an important role to play in tackling online hate and creating a kinder internet for everyone.

Modern Slavery: Statutory Guidance for England and Wales

Show Description

(under s49 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015) and Non-Statutory Guidance for Scotland and Northern Ireland)

The best idea is to think of the victim in terms of rehabilitation and work towards it. You are working with people who have been in an environment where they were slaves; they now need to learn how to be in an environment where they are human.
See how institutional efforts can be addressed in this direction: Staff need to be able to assist and guide victims as specific individuals; caring for each person requires more than protocols and appointments.’ Michael, 40, survivor of modern slavery

Learning from the Experts: Young people’s views on their mental health

Show Description

There is a recognised gap in knowledge and understanding about how the mental health and emotional wellbeing of young
people are affected by experiences of sexual abuse during adolescence. By sexual abuse we mean contact- and noncontact activities, online-facilitated abuse, abuse inside and outside the family, and abuse by adults and other young people.

Preventing suicide in England

Show Description

Each and every suicide is a tragedy, which causes devastating and permanent impacts on families, friends and broader communities. It is estimated that annually 800,000 people across the world die by suicide, with 5,316 people sadly taking their life in England in 2019. It is of the utmost importance that we do all we can to reduce this number as far as possible, so that fewer people die by suicide. But it is also of the utmost importance that when, tragically, somebody does end their life by suicide their family, friends and broader community who have been bereaved have whatever support they need in place
to manage their loss. And this is what we are striving towards.

Punishing Abuse

Show Description

This report provides the results of an action research project designed to discover the extent of abuse and other adversity for a diverse range of children known to Youth Offending Teams in the West Midlands. Whilst the original purpose of the research was to inform regional reform of the youth justice system, the analysis has identified the systemic failure to meet the needs of these children. This has led to proposals for much wider reform of public services.

The overwhelming evidence of poverty, abuse, loss adversity and probable trauma for the children studied is considered alongside the academic evidence on the likely impact on children’s lives and behaviours. This analysis led to the title of this report Punishing Abuse. The findings have profound implications for policy and practice in work with troubled children, not just locally but also nationally.

Review of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) policy: report

Show Description

The review has demonstrated the existence of a robust body of consistent evidence underpinning ACEs and strong support for the Welsh Government’s decision to prioritise action on ACEs. It has also shown strong support amongst stakeholders for having an ACE Support Hub for Wales. The review has demonstrated how the recognition of ACEs has become well embedded across
Welsh Government policy and, pleasingly, how the Welsh Government’s adoption of ACEs has influenced the development of UK Government policy in some non-devolved areas. We have made significant progress on delivering our commitment to create ACE aware public services in Wales. We can already see some of the benefits of the work undertaken to raise awareness and understanding of ACEs in areas such as education, youth justice and housing.

UNSAFE CHILDREN

Show Description

The majority of the CSJ’s work is organised around five ‘pathways to poverty’, first identified in our ground-breaking 2007 report Breakthrough Britain. These are: educational failure; family breakdown; economic dependency and worklessness; addiction to drugs and alcohol; and severe personal debt. Since its inception, the CSJ has changed the landscape of our political discourse by putting social justice at the heart of British politics. This has led to a transformation in government thinking and policy. For instance, in March 2013, the CSJ report It Happens Here shone a light on the horrific reality of human trafficking and modern slavery in the UK. As a direct result of this report, the Government passed the Modern Slavery Act 2015, one of the first pieces of legislation in the world to address slavery and trafficking in the 21st century.
