Serious violence and exploitation can affect any child or young person. Join Manchester Safeguarding Partnership during the Lives Not Knives Week of Action to increase your understanding of risk factors, early intervention, and the role professionals play in keeping children and young people safe.
Hate crime has no place in Greater Manchester. Everyone has the right to feel safe, respected and free to be themselves, without the fear of hostility or intimidation because of who they are or who someone believes them to be.
Hate crime can take many forms, including verbal abuse, threats, harassment, violence and damage to property. Its impact can extend far beyond the incident itself, affecting someone’s confidence, wellbeing and sense of safety in their community.
Domestic violence and abuse (DVA) is a pervasive public health issue, affecting more than one third of women globally. In England and Wales, two women are killed each week by a current or former male partner.
Manchester City Council wants to hear from everyone affected by domestic abuse. This includes victim-survivors, people who have used harmful or abusive behaviours in relationships, and professionals who work in this area. Your views will help them to understand what support is needed and how services can better help people make positive and lasting changes. The information you provide will help them shape the new strategy (plan) for the future.
Clinks are excited to invite community and voluntary sector organisations and wider partners working in the criminal justice system to join their North West Area Engagement Criminal Justice Forum.
These forums bring together people and organisations from across the criminal justice system in the North West area to share experiences, swap ideas, and tackle challenges together. Think of it as a space to:
Learn more about what it means to be a good employer when it comes to the employment of people with criminal records
What does it mean to be a good employer when it comes to people with criminal records? What is the Greater Manchester way of understanding and rehabilitating the history of offending through employment?
Are you a leader of a Greater Manchester VCSFE organisation supporting prison and probation experienced people? Are you interested in collaborating with other leaders to connect, influence and improve outcomes and impact?
Clinks are hosting a pilot influencing group to gauge interest and explore the potential aims and outcomes of the group. This idea came about from a project with prison experienced adults, that highlighted systemic challenges, and lack of connectivity between sector organisations.

Manchester Safeguarding Partnership are pleased to welcome We Are Survivors to deliver this final session in their Week of Action.
Established in Greater Manchester in 2009, We Are Survivors is a survivor-focused charity that creates safe spaces and provides specialist support for male survivors, including trans and non-binary individuals, affected by sexual abuse, rape and sexual exploitation. Their work combines direct support, advocacy, education and awareness-raising to help break the silence surrounding sexual harm and create lasting change.
Steps to Safety walk, a 15km walk to raise vital funds for survivors of domestic abuse. The walk is a 15km (9.38 miles) walk from Manchester City Centre to Altrincham, meeting at Castlefield Bowl then finishing in Altrincham.
This 15km walk was chosen to reflect the 1 woman who is killed by an abusive partner or ex every 5 days, a statistic that reminds us of all just how important literal life-saving services like Manchester Women’s Aid are.
