Decision details

The GMCA Complex Safeguarding hub wishes to upskill frontline staff around neurodiversity and the ways in which this affects vulnerability to exploitation, following an analysis of training gaps. The links between neurodiversity and substance misuse has not been explored previously by training providers. This is a unique opportunity to I AM to share their expertise in this area to better support children who are victims of exploitation, as well as to create innovative pathways between specialist organisations in Greater Manchester.

GMCA Complex Safeguarding wishes to pay £900 from the Complex Safeguarding Budget to pay for I AM to deliver a workshop on the topic of “Exploring the relationship between young people who are neurodiverse, substance misuse and exploitation” on March 20th, 2025, as part of the GM Week of Action professional development offer.
