Join Our Free Speak Up for Safety Webinar

Community Integrated Care is excited to host a free police safety webinar during Hate Crime Awareness Week, on Wednesday, 16th October at 2pm.

The Speak Up for Safety event will focus on how we can support people with care and support needs if they experience anti-social behaviour or crime in their communities. The session is part of our broader initiative to empower and safeguard the people who draw on social care. Community Integrated Care has been engaging with the police on this important issue, focusing on tackling anti-social behaviour, discrimination, and hate crime.

We encourage social care professionals to join this session and contribute to our Speak Up For Safety campaign, whilst gaining practical guidance to use in their roles.

Key Topics We’ll Cover:
  • Building stronger relationships with local police to address issues like anti-social behaviour, crime, or discrimination.
  • Supporting people to recognise and understand if they’ve been victims of crime or hate crime, and how we can stand up for their rights.
  • Identifying “mate crime” – when someone is manipulated by a so-called “friend.”
  • Guidance on reporting crimes, whether you’re supporting someone directly or providing assistance to colleagues.
Special Guests and Experts:

The webinar will be led by Jemima Burnage, Chief Quality & Risk Officer at Community Integrated Care, and will feature Paul Giannasi OBE, Hate Crime Lead at the National Police Chiefs’ Council, along with people supported by the charity, who will share their personal experiences. This diverse panel will offer real-life insights on how we can make a tangible difference in safeguarding those at risk.

Event Details:

This interactive and informative session will provide guidance on protecting and empowering people with care needs. While the tone will be positive and optimistic, we understand that some individuals may have experienced distressing incidents. Please consider whether the session is suitable for the person you support before inviting them to participate.

Who Should Attend:

The event is open to all social care professionals as well as people you support where appropriate.

We look forward to welcoming you to this important discussion.
