Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
The GMCA Complex Safeguarding hub wishes to
upskill frontline staff around understanding how grooming affects
young people’s lives, as well as what techniques perpetrators
use to make a child feel trapped. The focus on
“recovery” is a topic that has been identified by
Complex Safeguarding managers as an area for improvement during the
GMCS strategy’s consultation process. As a lived
experience-led organization, The Reign Collective are best placed
to advise on ways in which our practitioners can support long-term
recovery from trauma.
GMCA Complex Safeguarding wishes to pay
£700 from the Complex Safeguarding Budget to pay for The
Reign Collective to deliver a workshop on the topic of
“Healing after Grooming” on March 21st, 2025, as part
of the GM Week of Action professional development offer.
