What We Do

Unfortunately, families and individuals are often only accessing these services when they are in crisis point.

We have been operating since 2017 and know that vulnerable people are often treated differently and unfairly sometimes due to lack of resources but also often due to cultural norms and institutional prejudices within the big health and social care, educational and criminal justice institutions that goes unchallenged.

We have a number of case studies that explain the seriousness of situations where people are unfairly represented or treated which are resulting in real people out there in Manchester who are not attending school because of breakdown of communications following serious incidents that have not been dealt with, children and parents attempting to take their own lives, families who are in grave danger because their home is in such poor condition, young people facing hate crime on a daily basis and not been taken seriously alongside numerous people facing mental health crisis because they are stuck in a system that does not enable progression simply because they are treated as a ‘case’ rather than as a human that needs support across a few sectors but those sectors do not talk to each other resulting in families falling through gaps.

Experience tells us that individuals within these statutory services are reluctant to be faced with evidence of clear breaches of duties of care, so there is no acknowledgment of a problem, animosity into dealing with the root causes of issues and reluctance to collaborate. This is difficult to hear but it is happening on a daily basis and anyone who is seen to be challenging the system is labelled as being ‘difficult’.
