Safeguarding in faith settings – NSPCC

Show Description

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Safeguarding in Faith Settings has published a report following its inquiry into the effectiveness of current definitions of ‘positions of trust’ in safeguarding young people within faith settings. Currently professionals including teachers, social workers and youth justice staff are prevented by law from developing sexual relationships with 16-and 17-year-olds under their supervision. The report recommends that the definition of ‘positions of trust’ in the Sexual Offences Act 2003 is amended to cover any adult regularly involved in caring for, training or being in sole charge of young people.

Parents of sexually exploited children call for reforms in Social Care Services

Show Description

Parents are calling for a quicker response when a referral is made, and the development of positive relationships between Children’s Social Care services and the families they support.

These are the main findings of new research carried out by national child exploitation charity Parents Against Child Exploitation (Pace), among parents of sexually exploited children in England and Wales. A consistent message from parents, over the 23 years that Pace has been working with them, is that the support they have received from Children’s Social Care services has often been insufficient and neither timely nor appropriate.

The research reveals:

Parents felt they were being blamed for the exploitation of their child
Parents felt alone in managing threats to their child and putting safety measures in place
Delays in Social Care service responses of up to two years, which exacerbated the harm caused by the abuse
Interventions focussed on the child and parent, with little attention on disrupting the perpetrator of the abuse

Key Lines of Enquiry 2020

Show Description

The NWG and Space co-facilitated a number of Westminster events in 2019 aimed at raising the profile of parents and families affected by child exploitation and creating a national platform for discussion on how best to support these families.

The facilitation of these events has coincided with wider application of new approaches to safeguarding vulnerable adolescents such as Complex Safeguarding and Transitional Safeguarding – which has family work embedded in its model.

One of the practical outputs from the meetings has been the development of a document to capture ‘key lines of enquiry’ for professionals and agencies to consider when supporting parents and families.

The document has been co-developed with participants at the events and through consultation with other national change-drivers and whilst it is still in draft form, we are sharing it due to the appetite from professionals. It is a living document and will evolve as we develop our understanding of the needs of families.

FA Cup mental health video features Duke of Cambridge and football stars

Show Description

Mental health charities have linked up with the Football Association to create a video featuring players and the Duke of Cambridge, to be shown before this weekend’s FA Cup games.

The film is narrated by the Duke of Cambridge, who is spearheading Heads Up, a partnership between the mental health charity Heads Together he fronts and the FA.

The aim is to raise awareness about mental health issues and the simple steps the public, in particular men, can take to look after their mental health.

As well as being played across stadiums, which are hosting FA Cup third round ties this weekend, it will also be featured online and across broadcast media.

Other charitable organisations involved in the Heads Up initiative include Mind, CALM and Sporting Chance.

The video boradcast will involve a one minute delay to kick-offs. Also involved in the collaboration is Public Health England (PHE)’s Every Mind Matters campaign.

Viewers of the film, which features a raft of current and former players, are being urged to complete PHE’s Mind Plan questionnaire. This has already been completed a million times and aims to develop a personalised mental health action plan for those taking part.

Footballers past and present featured in the film include Chelsea manager Frank Lampard, Manchester United’s Jesse Lingard and Harry Maguire, England and Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli

IICSA Research Update – Learning about online sexual harm- December 2019

Show Description

We have published new research exploring children and young people’s perspectives on online sexual harm and the education they receive on this in school. The ‘Learning about online sexual harm’ report was produced by the University of Bedfordshire and analyses the views of more than 260 children aged 11-18 from primary and secondary schools across England and Wales. One particular concern was that almost 9 in 10 pupils said it was their own responsibility to keep themselves safe online. This can lead to harmful feelings of guilt and self-blame in the event of abuse, and also stop children from seeking the help and support they need.
