Thoughts On The Social World

Craig is an author, founder and creator of ‘Get Out Get Love’ which is a proposed universal recovery model from experiences of abusive relationships shaped into both a self-help book and later developed self-delivered digital recovery programme.

David is the founder of the Safe & Together Institute, which works with governments and NGOs across the globe, including Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Europe.

It is the recording of the Global Social Work Talk from 28th March 2024. The Global Social Work TALK aimed to deliver “ideas to change the world”.

Unseen , the Leading UK Anti-Slavery Charity. Our talk covers ground related to law enforcement, survivor's welfare, training, the world wide nature of the crimes, predictions and the under application of legislation.

Traffiking and Slavery. Follow the Money. Such an important addition to the investigation and interruption of crimes that are conservatively put at costing over 150 Billion dollars a year. Karim Rajwani, B.A, F.C.A. C.P.A. ACAMS talks to me of his extensive history in several settings helping combat these scourges on our communities. We discuss the growth of these crimes as well as strategies adopted to support law enforcement. We talk about the huge need for more training, awareness raising accross the world. So much known yet so much to do including practical ideas that everyone can help with--such as challenging your own financial providers-banks, insurance companies etc - to say what training their staff has had in methods to shine a light on traffikers, slavery in all its forms and child exploitation. Currently he is an independent Financial Crimes Consultant advising financial instructions, consulting firms and FinTech’s and is also on several NGOs/NPOs advisory boards focused on fighting human trafficking and child sexual exploitation.

In this episode I speak to award-winning children's author, Christina Gabbitas, about her book 'Trapped in County Lines'. This is a follow up book to 'No More Knives or County Lines'. We discuss why books like this are important in how we educate young people and their parents about issues like county lines. Christina shares the work she does with her book alongside the police and in schools and speaks of the power of storytelling around these difficult topics.

The important process of keeping the public informed following a safeguarding event or tragedy. Truthfulness and sensitivity to all, especially victims and survivors.

The project has changed since the last podcast, in a number of ways. Firstly we operate as separate projects within the overall umbrella of The Remakery, there is a day for young people, a day for young learning disabled adults and a day for unemployed and those suffering from poor wellbeing. This allows us to tailor the work undertaken to the needs of the group.

Ten years on from my first podcast recording with Peter Garsden I speak with the President of the Association of Child Abuse Lawyers again.

Join me for part 2 of my conversation with John Pizzuro, the CEO of Raven about anti child exploitation.
