Welcome to our winter newsletter! We have been very busy over the past few months at the partnership, and we are excited to share our latest updates with you. This edition of the newsletter will focus on our work on ‘Children Out of Sight’, the launch of the Birmingham Against FGM video campaign, and we will reflect on our Practitioners’ Conference and our webinar ‘Are You Listening to Me?’.

Additionally, our Practitioner Spotlight interview will feature Maria Serrudo from Redthread, a multi-award-winning charity that has been delivering pioneering youth work in hospitals and other health settings for over 20 years.

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome James Thomas as the recently appointed CEO of Birmingham Children’s Trust, we look forward to continuing our close partnership with the Trust under his new leadership.

We hope you enjoy the newsletter. If you have any content suggestions for future editions, please don’t hesitate to contact Katherine Adams (BSCP Communications Officer).
