Healthy Relationships Advisory Forum: Supporting Schools and Colleges in Addressing Relationship Abuse

The Healthy Relationships Advisory Forum (HRAF) is a non-statutory service consisting of professionals who focus on relationship issues, hate crimes, and domestic abuse. It offers a platform for schools and colleges to seek advice, strategies, and referrals regarding concerns about students' behaviors within relationships. The forum aims to bridge the gap in addressing young people involved in relationship abuse and prevent future perpetrators of domestic abuse and sexual violence.

  1. An Introduction to the Healthy Relationships Advisory Forum Cath Bennett Education Safeguarding Lead 07729623489 Fozia Drysdale Practice Manager FJC

  2. What is the HRAF? What is the HRAF? • A small panel of professionals from non-statutory services who have knowledge and experience within the areas or relationships, hate crime/incidents, and domestic abuse. • An opportunity for schools and colleges to discuss concerns about a child or young person’s behaviour within the relationships they have. • To provide the school or college with advice and strategies, signpost them to potential support services • Not Age limited so accessible for all ages to discuss concerns

  3. Why do we need it? Why do we need it? • A progressive step on from last year’s work following the OFSTED report on Sexual Abuse in Schools. • Schools are increasingly identifying relationship abuse (or the early signs of it) which may not meet threshold for statutory intervention. • Prevention is better than cure. • There is a gap in young people involved in relationship abuse being discussed in a low-level multi-agency forum. For adults we have MARAC • Croydon is the highest London Borough for DA incidents.

  6. Structure of the Forum Structure of the Forum • There will be a triage meeting approx 5 days before (hence the deadline). • School will present the case to the panel members (similar to FAP and Primary Inclusion) • There will be an open discussion and proposal for what school can/need to do next • Approx 3-6 months after, school will be asked to complete a review to help measure the impact of recommendations and support in developing future panels. Panel members could include: Cath – Education Safeguarding Lead and Chair Fozia – FJC, Haydar – Prevent Manager Zoe – Education Advisor Health and Well-being Deborah – Senior AIO Possible Primary an secondary school guest

  7. What could the support look like? The forum aims to provide support in a variety of ways and will be case dependent. The possibilities are  advice on developing the school relationships curriculum  Additional strategies/resources to try with the child or young person  Signposting to Croydon based or wider services  Advice on direct work that school can be completed individually with the child or young person  Referral to MARAC (if close to adult age)  Advise to refer to SPOC/MASH and/or police This does not replace This does not replace existing work the school or existing work the school or college is already providing, college is already providing, or work from EH/CSC or work from EH/CSC This does not This does not replace necessary replace necessary referrals to referrals to EH/CSC EH/CSC
