Lets be inspired again....

 I was truly totally burnt out, having spent 5 years fighting on my own to highlight the many injustices that I saw every day. Many desperate people approached me daily who felt they had nowhere else to turn, having heard of me through my work on many documentaries such as The Betrayed Girls, Panorama, File on Four etc etc as well as from bringing the story of The Rochdale Grooming scandal to our screens as Programme Consultant on the drama ‘Three Girls’ with

And so in my naivety I decided to start my own charity, little knowing the stress, the graft, the challenges and the hurdles that needed to be overcome. I just didn’t have a clue. And the challenges and stresses are still a feature of my daily life, and I’ll be honest and say sometimes I wonder whether it’s worth it, and whether I just want my own life back….

I couldn’t let today pass without marking our 5th Birthday!

Grateful for the honesty often portrayed by this Lady, feel we men don't always get this honesty in our reflections. (After about 9 thousand years we are still a work in progress us males.) Talking about sharing the high ands lows.

yesterday was difficult conversation about mistrust, also ignoring warnings.

•  Felt the manager simply did not grasp truthfully word, that l as lead professional, was saying. 
• No recognition of previous sign posting along with clear written comments on recording sheets.
• Informed observations which also high lighted in email communication.

 Not that people don't bother, confident they only do what is required.

Yet safe guarding always aligns what you must do!

What you should do!

@MaggieOliverUK was in a position where she was not listened too.

 Eventfully found another way of bringing issue to the forefront. 

This can be discovered by watching some of the above 

documentaries

also read the following...

When detective Maggie Oliver first discovered that children as young as 10 were being groomed, abused and trafficked for sex by gangs of men in the Rochdale area, she felt like a lonely voice calling for people to act. Banging on closed doors, it seemed that nobody was able or willing to help her save these vulnerable girls, but she couldn't just sit back while countless lives were being destroyed forever in plain sight. Instead, she launched a one-woman campaign to bring down these sickening gangs. 

Just A Child tells the heartbreaking story of how a young girl from Rotherham was abused by her drug-dealing 'boyfriend', eventually giving birth to his baby, right under the nose of the very authorities who were meant to protect her. When reality dawned and Sammy realised she was one of countless vulnerable child victims - many of whom were trafficked around the north of England - she took it upon herself to blow the whistle and save others from a similar fate.

These are both difficult issues in a world, a society, communities who exist alongside the promenade walks, the sea breeze blowing in our faces, the big footed clown with the coulerful balloons. Its a dark world. Its a world where abuse is part of life for too many. We need to look up look  around us. But also need to listen.

Not forget those who are telling us about LIFE we wish to turn away from. They will encounter difficult , Dark individuals. 

Try make sure that's not us men, Not me, Not you.
