Survey of Women & Girls in Cheshire
Women and girls from all backgrounds and walks of life want to feel safe and be safe – and when something happens to them, they want to be able to go to a police force that respects them, protects them and supports them.
An independent organisation, Victim Focus, to carry out a survey of Women and girls in Cheshire aged 16 or above about personal safety, crime and their experiences with the police. It is particularly important to hear from girls aged 16-17 as they are one of the most likely groups to be victims of crime, but are often missed in other surveys as they are children.
The survey will run until midday on Friday 1 December 2023 and can be taken here: https://freeonlinesurveys.com/s/l2mpYbKv. You do not need to have been a victim of crime to take part.
This anonymous survey is one way Cheshire Police can learn from women and girls and make any changes and improvements they need. I will also be able to use the feedback when looking at commissioning victim support services in future.
Please share this survey throughout your networks and communities so as many people as possible can have their say.

Survey of Women & Girls in Cheshire
Women and girls from all backgrounds and walks of life want to feel safe and be safe – and when something happens to them, they want to be able to go to a police force that respects them, protects them and supports them.
An independent organisation, Victim Focus, to carry out a survey of Women and girls in Cheshire aged 16 or above about personal safety, crime and their experiences with the police. It is particularly important to hear from girls aged 16-17 as they are one of the most likely groups to be victims of crime, but are often missed in other surveys as they are children.
The survey will run until midday on Friday 1 December 2023 and can be taken here: https://freeonlinesurveys.com/s/l2mpYbKv. You do not need to have been a victim of crime to take part.
This anonymous survey is one way Cheshire Police can learn from women and girls and make any changes and improvements they need. I will also be able to use the feedback when looking at commissioning victim support services in future.
Please share this survey throughout your networks and communities so as many people as possible can have their say.

Survey of Women & Girls in Cheshire
Women and girls from all backgrounds and walks of life want to feel safe and be safe – and when something happens to them, they want to be able to go to a police force that respects them, protects them and supports them.
An independent organisation, Victim Focus, to carry out a survey of Women and girls in Cheshire aged 16 or above about personal safety, crime and their experiences with the police. It is particularly important to hear from girls aged 16-17 as they are one of the most likely groups to be victims of crime, but are often missed in other surveys as they are children.
The survey will run until midday on Friday 1 December and can be taken here: https://freeonlinesurveys.com/s/l2mpYbKv. You do not need to have been a victim of crime to take part.
This anonymous survey is one way Cheshire Police can learn from women and girls and make any changes and improvements they need. I will also be able to use the feedback when looking at commissioning victim support services in future.
Please share this survey throughout your networks and communities so as many people as possible can have their say.

Warrington Safeguarding Partnership Face-to-Face Meetings
Warrington Safeguarding Partnership have found that children social care colleagues are receiving an increasing number of requests from practitioners across their partnership to attend meetings online instead of face to face. The strategic group of Warrington Safeguarding Partnership wants to reaffirm their joint commitment across all partners that where a meeting has been arranged to be face-to-face, it goes ahead as face-to-face. Children’s social care colleagues will not agree an exemption to this standard, this is something that can only be approved by your organisation’s strategic safeguarding representative, and face-to-face attendance at meetings will continue to be monitored by the quality assurance sub-group of the safeguarding partnership, and routinely reported to the strategic group.
The Safeguarding Duty Hub is available for all staff across the Trust to access safeguarding advice and support in practice. The Safeguarding Duty Hub offers the provision of specialist safeguarding and children and adult practitioners and it is available from 9am to 5pm Monday-Friday through a single point of access Trust wide.
To discuss any safeguarding matters please contact a central hub of specialist safeguarding practitioners.

Liverpool Safeguarding Partnership Board resolution and escalation procedure
Sefton
As members of Sefton’s Domestic Abuse Partnership Board I wanted to update you on some work we have been doing around MARAC recently and an opportunity for multi agency staff training.
The MARAC Steering Group has recently updated and relaunched the Sefton Domestic Abuse Risk Tool (DASH) and Sefton MARAC and IDVA referral forms. These, along with some separate guidance notes on how to complete the risk tool, are attached for your information. These documents are to replace any previous versions of the forms and should be used to complete domestic abuse risk assessments and for any referrals into either MARAC or IDVA from now on. They have already been shared with the MARAC membership group. Please feel free to circulate them to anyone as necessary within your organisation. The latest risk tool and referral forms can also be found at www.sefton.gov.uk/behindcloseddoors.
As part of this relaunch, our MARAC Coordinator has prepared a PowerPoint presentation to refresh you on the MARAC process in Sefton (attached). Please feel free to share this with your teams. We have also arranged a series of more in-depth briefings on the MARAC process which will be held via Microsoft Teams. The initial dates arranged are as follows:
- Thursday 8 June from 10am to 11am
- Thursday 8 June from 2pm to 3pm
- Monday 12 June from 10am to 11am
- Monday 12 June from 2pm to 3pm
These sessions are available for anyone within your organisation so please circulate the details to any colleagues or teams who you feel would benefit from attending - they do not need to be a MARAC rep. To register to attend, individuals should email Louise O’Rourke at louise.o’rourke@sefton.gov.uk with details of which session they would like to attend. A Teams invitation will be sent out in due course.
Sefton MARAM launch
Sefton Safeguarding Adults Board have recently launched the MARAM process. A MARAM is a Multi-Agency approach to reduce risk which sits alongside current safeguarding adult processes. Several Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Meeting workshops are being delivered by members of the Sefton Safeguarding Adults Board.

Liverpool Safeguarding Partnership Board resolution and escalation procedure
Sefton
As members of Sefton’s Domestic Abuse Partnership Board I wanted to update you on some work we have been doing around MARAC recently and an opportunity for multi agency staff training.
The MARAC Steering Group has recently updated and relaunched the Sefton Domestic Abuse Risk Tool (DASH) and Sefton MARAC and IDVA referral forms. These, along with some separate guidance notes on how to complete the risk tool, are attached for your information. These documents are to replace any previous versions of the forms and should be used to complete domestic abuse risk assessments and for any referrals into either MARAC or IDVA from now on. They have already been shared with the MARAC membership group. Please feel free to circulate them to anyone as necessary within your organisation. The latest risk tool and referral forms can also be found at www.sefton.gov.uk/behindcloseddoors.
As part of this relaunch, our MARAC Coordinator has prepared a PowerPoint presentation to refresh you on the MARAC process in Sefton (attached). Please feel free to share this with your teams. We have also arranged a series of more in-depth briefings on the MARAC process which will be held via Microsoft Teams. The initial dates arranged are as follows:
- Thursday 8 June from 10am to 11am
- Thursday 8 June from 2pm to 3pm
- Monday 12 June from 10am to 11am
- Monday 12 June from 2pm to 3pm
These sessions are available for anyone within your organisation so please circulate the details to any colleagues or teams who you feel would benefit from attending - they do not need to be a MARAC rep. To register to attend, individuals should email Louise O’Rourke at louise.o’rourke@sefton.gov.uk with details of which session they would like to attend. A Teams invitation will be sent out in due course.
