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.
