I love this and on the Eve of the online Talking Forward group, it really landed with me and the amazing people who attend the peer support group TalkingForward Safer Lives
Read our blog on ‘the Knock’ and it’s impacts on the suspects’ families. #TheKnock TalkingForward Lucy R Kim Leadbeater MBE MP Sarah Champion Catherine Cox Prof Sam Lundrigan aru.ac.uk/news/support-c…
@TalkingForward were joined by Lincolnshire Police Indirect Victim Support Officer Lincolnshire PoliceIVS. Tom answered Qs about police procedure, listening to the experiences of families & demonstrating what can be done when resources are allocated to supporting families of suspects.
Very pleased to have Lawrence Jordan here from The Marie Collins Foundation to answer questions from a Social Services perspective for our peer support group here TalkingForward . Hoping to offer clarity and reassurance.
Absolutely melts my heart that I get to work with professionals that really care (and I mean REALLY care). Thank you from the bottom of my heart and from all out wonderful clients at TalkingForward 🌟
You can be glib about the 'impact agenda' but academics across HE do vital work for communities, policymakers, practitioners etc. The most amazing work can be seen TalkingForward with Prof Rachel Armitage at the helm. How can this be achieved if academics are in fear of their jobs?
We have the honour of welcoming PC Tom Scott Lincolnshire Police Indirect Victim Support to our TalkingForward support group today. I am so proud to know Tom and to have seen this role develop. I just wish this post existed in every police force. It’s not rocket science - it works!
TalkingForward This will be the bomb that has been ticking away in the background for a number of years that everyone has chosen to ignore. Porn and sex addiction is real. So pleased that there is more support now.
TalkingForward These teens end up in specialist Youth Offender prison wings for sex offenders, which are incredibly traumatic, and then are tagged for life with the SO label. No matter how effective the rehabilitation, they will forever be ostracised from mainstream society.
I had my 1st session as a volunteer for the wonderful TalkingForward today. Listening to the courageous family members/partners of CSAM suspects/offenders was inspirational, powerful, heartbreaking and hopeful. A true privilege.
We are delighted that the charity TalkingForward founded by our Professor of #Criminology Prof Rachel Armitage has been awarded the Mayor's Safer Communities Funding.🌟Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire West Yorkshire’s Deputy Mayor for Policing & Crime #MayorsSCF
Prof Rachel Armitage TalkingForward Thank you Prof Rachel Armitage . It was a really engaging session with some very troubling stories, which I hope we can eradicate from future investigations. Thank you to TalkingForward for inviting me and keep up the fabulous work.
