GM Complex Safeguarding Peer Reviews have
identified “culturally sensitive practice” as a
training gap and area for improvement for the local Complex
Safeguarding teams. The Roma community in particular faces
discrimination and unconscious bias, which impairs the creation of
relationships of trust with practitioners and constitutes an
obstacle to the safeguarding of children and families from
exploitation.
GMCA Complex Safeguarding wishes to pay
£300 from the Complex Safeguarding Budget to pay for The Roma
Support Group to deliver a workshop on “Supporting Roma
Children and Families Facing Exploitation” on March 18th,
2025, as part of GM’s Week of Action professional development
offer.
