As we approach 2025, my message remains unequivocal: children in care are still children. We now have a critical opportunity to transform the system once and for all. In my role as a campaigner and author, I am committed to leading efforts, advising on policy reforms, and continuing to advocate in Parliament for essential changes that have the potential to save the lives of vulnerable young people.

As if things aren't challenging enough,
unsurprisingly, not all who contact our (irreplicable) service assisting parents & professionals are who they claim to be 🎭

@bespaceaware 🎄🎄 Merry Christmas to all @bespaceaware & and a heartfelt Thank you,for never giving up on the whole country’s CCE trapped children,always endeavouring to help these victims. Thank you 🙏

[Fairy @Fairy2106]

@bespaceaware Merry Christmas to you. Forever grateful for everything you bring to #CCE families and beyond. #Peace

🥳🥳🥳Delighted to share we've been approached for not one, but two important & rare #CountylinesCCE pieces of work ~ not for our subject expertise alone, but because we say things as they really are🥳🥳🥳

[Elissa Noves @ElissaNoves]

@mariellaf1 The entire point of safeguarding is to imagine the worst of human nature & prevent it from happening. If we don't do that, then the worst happens. Will the law protect you? Sometimes, but not always & once the harm is done, it's too late.

Good News!?
CG NRM for 1 fam this wk after 18 risk-filled/escalating mths+0 child sfguarding

Agys [ModSlavery FRs] repeated "no evidence"🤯so imagine the thrill🥳 bc you finally have formal recogn your teen is a trafficked victim😔

Next: Failure to sfguard & support a MS victim

Profs know they can't say "he/she got involved in sexwork at age 13" in CSE.

Yet it plays to Safeguarders/Police/CJS tune when parents too (unknowingly) say

🗣"He/she got *involved* in #Countylines at age ..."

❌CSE nor CCE children can consent/get involved in own trafficking.

[Fairy @Fairy2106]

@bespaceaware @sonyajonesshrop The sad reality of our 'safeguarding' system...yes the one that does anything but safeguard.

[SPACE (countylinescce on Bsky) @bespaceaware]

@sonyajonesshrop The 'response' reality is beyond bleak.

#Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone's responsibility. Everyone that comes into contact with children and their families has a role to play.

2 💔 updates fm 2 parents in 2 days

The amount of trauma heaped on children & parents by fakeguarders un-bloody-believable, whilst all manner of #CountylinesCCE bollocks & bullshit is churned out that doesn't work in real life & couldn't be further fm real families' experiences

[SPACE (countylinescce on Bsky) @bespaceaware]

🎯

Sadly UK's #Countylines-trafficked YP & their parents are quickly discovering Children's Services & Policing are unsafe places to expect child protection & safeguarding from.

Problematic much..

[Fairy @Fairy2106]

@bespaceaware It looks like they're trying though doesn't it! It only adds more stress to the yp and family. Then comes the blame to the yp for not engaging with services offered.

[SPACE (countylinescce on Bsky) @bespaceaware]

If mentoring didn't work w. a Countylines-exploited/trafficked YP, & additional hours/sessions failed too,

✋STOP✋
proposing more of it.

Engaging CL victims is a rare specialism.
It's not in the gift of generic YW/mentors who (unwittingly or not) can & do harm YP/fams further.

It won't change unless the many vested interests are removed.

Everyone raking it in whilst kids' end outcomes remain prison and/or death.

Despicable carry-on.

[Fairy @Fairy2106]

@bespaceaware Such a waste of resources to rely solely upon mentoring. Like a plaster over a gaping wound that's bleeding. It just doesn't suffice. Safeguarders woefully uneducated in #CCE. Change is needed right now!

[SPACE (countylinescce on Bsky) @bespaceaware]

'Partnerships' throwing any damn thing on #Countylines-trafficked children
- inc the ubiquitous 'mentoring' - WHILST CCE REMAINS LIVE, KICKING & UNREMOVED

Ofc it won't work🤬

+CCE £unding? Joke.
There are no children/fams benefitting fm any of it, whatever the savi😇urs claim.

[Fairy @Fairy2106]

@bespaceaware Need you sat around the table, along with @sonyajonesshrop and a few others I can think of!
