Further Information
ACT Early Campaign – new safeguarding website
- Andrew Allison, Community Resilience Officer at the Local Authority, has asked schools and colleges to share this update with parents.
- The new safeguarding website, operated by Counter Terrorism Policing www.actearly.uk, is aimed at family and friends to encourage them to share concerns that a friend or loved one might be vulnerable to radicalisation.
- Research shows that family and friends are best placed to spot the signs that someone might be vulnerable to radicalisation. We want them to ACT early so their vulnerable friend or loved one can get the support they need before the situation escalates into something more serious.
- The ACT early campaign is even more important than ever in the current pandemic climate where we have seen a decline in Prevent referrals during lockdown.
- Also included on the new website is the partners toolkit here which provides resources such as posters and leaflets and content to use on social media. Further information for safeguarding leads is in the attached bulletin.
The Bread and Butter Thing
The Bread and Butter Thing (TBBT) is open to residents who live within a one mile radius of the three current hubs:
- Tuesday – Mount Pleasant Primary School (Cockerton) 1:30pm
- Wednesday – Corporation Road Primary School (Northgate) Collection 2:45pm
- Thursday – Red Hall Primary School Collection 1:30pm
If residents would like to participate they need to follow a set of steps to sign up:
- Step 1 – Send a text to TBBT on 07537416040 with full name, postcode and the name of the hub (Mount Pleasant, Corporation Road, Red Hall) and TBBT will get in touch. (must live within one mile of the hub)
- Step 2 – Select the size of order they want to receive. A typical family order would be £7.50, an individual would be £4. An extra large family would be £15.
- Step 3 – TBBT will send a text two days prior to collection day to ask if the resident wants to order for that week. All they have to do is reply “YES” to the text by 10:00am the day before collection and TBBT will deliver their order to their Hub at the specified times.
- Step 4 – Pay for & collect the order from their chosen hub.
