The State of the VCSE Sector research is a major piece of work mapping the size, scope, diversity, and impact of voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations across Greater Manchester.

Safeguarding Adults Week is a national event where organisations have an opportunity to come together to raise awareness about keeping adults safe from harm, abuse and neglect.

This year’s focus is on prevention taking action early to stop abuse before it happens. While it’s important to respond when things go wrong, it’s even more powerful to create safer environments from the start.

Throughout the week, Manchester Safeguarding Partnership will be holding an Adult Safeguarding Conference focusing on the importance of prevention.
