Understanding gender and sexuality is essential for new teachers, long standing teachers, heterosexual teachers and lesbian, gay bisexual or trans teachers. It is also vital to understand in order to meet new legal and Ofsted requirements.
Some of you will know that Manchester has put itself forward to undertake a peer review of safeguarding services, which will be done in February 2013 (see attached for further information).
Neglect
Recently I attended a neglect summit organised by Manchester Safeguarding Children Board. A summit seems like a heady title but felt fitting for the task at hand. The summit was facilitated by Professor Jan Howarth who is working with several LSCB’s around issues of neglect and has led several research projects and written books on multi-agency approaches to neglect.
The Enthusiasm Trust has received funding from the Home Office through Manchester City Council to tackle Violent Crime, and Gun & Gang related crime.
The Trust have developed an Arrows programme which is a capacity building project to improve the ability of organisations and individuals to effect change within their communities.
So, it’s out. The specification for Youth Fund 2013-15 (R3) is now out there; if you’ve not seen it yet then go to: www.manchestercommunitycentral.org/manchester-youth-fund-and-play-fund-2..., where you will find all the documentation and how to get support.
