Perpetrators and Victims
The case of Amanda Spencer, 22, Sheffield is being widely reporting in the media as she is accused of luring girls into a life of ‘prostitution.’
Amanda denies almost 40 charges against her relating to Child Prostitution (legal term) between 2006 and 2011. Amanda is accused of grooming young girls when she herself was a teenager and facilitating child sexual offences.
As you are aware Basis has recently undergone quite a transformation. Historically, our old identify was focussed on bright colours; pinks, mustards and brown and was aimed at a younger audience. We worked with Leeds based branding agency; Gratterpalm to create a new and exciting brand that captures the heart and sole of the work we do.
The Basis training team were delighted to speak last week at the Safeguarding Children e-Academy conference – Beyond Awareness.
Our trainer Taylor Austin Little spoke about changing grooming models including; party lifestyle and peer on peer grooming.
We met with many Child Sexual Exploitation professionals who gave fascinating talks about their work including Zoe Lodrick and The Blast Project.
The Safeguarding Academy put on a useful, timely and relevant conference for professionals across the UK.
Basis is part of a network of charitable projects including Genesis, Leeds. Genesis is recruiting for a part time Child Sexual Exploitation Young Person’s Outreach Worker.
