Christmas is coming soon and we want to ensure that the women who use our services don’t miss out on the festivities as we know this can be the case for those who are estranged from family and friends, experience poor mental or physical health and/or simply lack the resources.

These quotes are from the perspective of a young person and how they would like the safeguarding process to be. Although we have a duty to protect young people, their voices about how they would like the process to be must be listened to for better cooperation and trust.

[Basis Young People @basis_yp]

Perpetrators do not discriminate, so nor should we within our services. You might remember this message from our #CEAHasntGoneAway campaign where we discussed the importance of safeguarding young people from all backgrounds and identities. #Safeguardingweek

. Associating exploitation with a young person means that exploited adults are excluded from essential services. They can internalise the belief that adults cannot be exploited, stopping them from reaching out for the help that they need. #Safeguardingweek

It’s taken 2 yrs but FINALLY the Govt admit that Rape victims have been let down by the Criminal Justice System - entirely on their watch & that their funding cuts contributed to these failures
A system that blamed victims & failed to investigate suspects https://t.co/LjSZecuc7K

To start of the week, we are defining safeguarding to make sure everyone is aware of what it involves. This definition is from the NSPCC and explains what is included within safeguarding. #Safeguardingweek @Child_leeds
