The government has made tackling all forms of bullying a top priority and has been clear that it does not want any young person to go to school dreading the treatment they will get. It is never acceptable for a child to be bullied, victimised or harmed in any way. Bullying is a priority in the Department for Education’s (DfE) National Prosepctus Grants Programme 2015/16. This is a separate grant funded by the Government Equalities Office (GEO) that specifically targets homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying. It is being administered by the GEO in conjunction with the DfE

Manchester City Council has commissioned an independent review of arrangements for dealing with Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE).

It will be conducted by Sheila Taylor of the National Working Group.

The aim of the review is to identify where things are working well and what needs to be improved.

Sheila is keen to ensure that the voluntary and community sector have input into the review.

Discussions will focus on your understanding, experiences and approaches to CSE

The event will be on 8 December at Manchester Town Hall.
