The Portal Podcast: linking research and practice for social work

https://portalpodcast.org/

When working in frontline practice, having the time for, and access to, current research can be difficult. Join Dr Sarah Lonbay and Dr Lesley Deacon as they interview researchers about how their work can be used to inform and develop social work practice. The podcast is for anyone who's interested in social work and for anyone who wants to keep up to date with the latest research and use this to inform their practice. The Portal Podcast explores the work of a different researcher in each episode and aims to support people to access, understand, and make use of research.

The Ace Project_LGBTQ Young People and CSE_ An Agenda for Change

In 2013 the Northern Rock Foundation funded the Ace Project to explore with practitioners across the North East what the needs are of young lesbians, gay men, bisexual women and men and/or trans women and men (LGB and/or T) who might be at risk of, or actually experiencing, child sexual exploitation.

Over four meetings the practitioners considered the definition of child sexual exploitation and how it might be experienced differently by young LGB and/or T people,  what the training gaps and needs are of practitioners working with young people; and how the heterosexual assumption acts as a barrier to young LGB and/or T people at risk of or experiencing sexual exploitation getting the help they need

The Ace Project developed an Agenda for Change in the North East and beyond. The accompanying toolkit outlines the Agenda for Change, and builds on the See Me Hear Me framework for working with young people and child sexual exploitation developed by the Office of the Children’s Commissioner (2013).

The Ace Project also commissioned local filmmaker, Julie Ballands to make a film which gives voice to the experiences of sexual exploitation of a young Asian gay man, a young white lesbian and a young, white trans man. The film, They Love Me? They Love Me Not: Sexual Exploitation and Young LGBTQ People is not available online to comply with the wishes of the young people involved in the film.
