#CEADay25 highlights the issues surrounding Child Exploitation. We want to encourage everyone to think, spot and speak out against abuse.
Together we can work to inform, educate and prevent child abuse through exploitation within the UK".

Last Friday, I spent the day in B&NES, attending a conference organised by the local @aandsvrp (VRP) that I fund.

I also visited Bath City Farm, and finished the day meeting Adam Dance MP for Yeovil in South Somerset.

It's great to be part of such a worthy cause. It is all linked into being an Active Bystander and "The behaviour we ignore is the behaviour we accept". Children and adults all have a part to play. To find out more about being an Active Bystander, visit our website (link in bio).

It's #NationalStorytellingWeek and we’re sharing the story of Ben Kinsella - a heart-breaking yet powerful reminder of why we continue to fight against knife crime.

At just 16, Ben’s life was cruelly taken in an act of violence leaving a family & community forever changed.
