I’m Rosie and I recently started as the Children and Community Engagement Officer with the Local Safeguarding Children Partnership, or ‘LSCP’. Our team work across Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster and Hammersmith & Fulham to make sure that organisations who support children and young people feel confident in how to keep them safe and what to do when they have safeguarding concerns. I hope to get to know as many community organisations as I can because I want to understand what it’s like growing up in Hammersmith and Fulham, what’s going well for the community, and where things could improve. It would be great to hear from you if you have questions, comments, ideas about safeguarding children and young people, or just want to say hello!
Please do get in touch with me at rtwomey@westminster.gov.uk, or on 07855 146 734. The LSCP also offer training, resources and advice on safeguarding policies and procedures to organisations. Like most teams at the moment, we’re thinking of ways to continue our work during COVID-19 while we can’t arrange training and events in person.

We’re hosting a 4 week online workshop in the month of July based on the TV drama MTV Shuga: Love, Sex & Money.
The drama is based in Nigeria, mirroring West African culture and mannerisms, so you will need to be familiar with the culture in order to be able to participate fully.
Week 1: How we think about our own risk of getting HIV directly relates to the level of caution we take around sex. In this session we will discuss and try to understand our sense of our own risk.
Week 2: In this session we explore honesty in relationships, sharing about sexual histories and learning about a sexual network.
Week 3 – In this session we will explore the bigger decisions behind all the smaller everyday decisions we take on things, including love, sex, relationships, money and how we are in the world.
Week 4 – In this session we explore HIV stigma and the impact it can have on us and our relationships.
