“Vision without
action is a day
dream. Action
without vision is a
nightmare!”
Japanese Proverb
Working in partnership
is not an intellectual
exercise or a
competition
We need:
* Shared objectives
* Mutual understanding
* Energy & Motivation
* Flexibility
* Belief that it is possible
* Combination of strategic
buy in & frontline
practitioners to deliver
* Evaluation & Learning
* Community
engagement
* Commitment
* Responsive services
*The right location
*The right time
*Constructive challenge
*Problem solving
*Resources
* An identified agency who
will coordinate NOT lead.
*Each other!
How we did it In York.Helen is going to describe our
approach and highlight why it
has been such a success. Look
out for the tangible outcomes
we captured as the campaign
progressed
‘It’s not OK’ campaignWhat we set out to do:
To ensure that parents, children and young people, professionals and the general public know what sexual abuse and exploitation is, the importance of disclosure and where help can be sought

‘It made us think about ways to solve a problem like the characters…I learnt where to report abuse’
‘I already knew most of it. But I learnt that you can get abused by a member of family’
Did they offer a piece of advice to a young person experiencing CSA and/or CSE?Yes – 92% (1417) No – 8% (115)
‘If you feel unsafe, report it, don’t hide it’
‘It’s not your fault. Tell a parent, friend or teacher’
‘Tell someone you trust’
‘It’s OK to call Childline’
‘Don’t be afraid to tell someone and it’s OK to say no’

Yes – 83% (1264) No – 17% (268)‘Listen to what they tell you and sort it’
‘Help them, don’t tell them off’
‘Always believe your child’
‘Report it and never be angry with your child’
‘Tell your child that they did nothing wrong and call the police’
‘Let them explain, don’t interrupt, listen and make them feel safe’
Did the use of drama help their understanding of CSA and CSE?
Yes – 95% (1462) No – 5% (70)‘It showed me what it’s like in someone else’s shoes. It made me know what to do if it happened to me’
‘We often make the big mistake of informing our young people of dangers but giving them no understanding of how to resolve situations, yet seeing the play and having the discussions gave students a number of solutions for how to resolve the issues. The students were fully engaged for the whole session and I would fully recommend this for all schools’
‘It helped me understand how people are affected, better than a talk in assembly’
‘The play put difficult problems into a format that made it easier for me to understand what child sexual abuse was’
