Reading Bespoke Support Project

Following initial discussions with key local partners, the overarching goal of the project was agreed as developing a clear set of principles which underpin strategic activity across the partnership landscape in Reading in relation to child exploitation as part of the development of a new extra-familial harm strategy. Part of the work with TCE was to identify actions for priority work streams to support implementation. 

In order to work towards this, it was agreed that the TCE delivery team would support the partnership in:

• Developing an understanding of the evidence base to support the expansion of the partnership approach from child exploitation to extra-familial harm. 
• Developing understanding of emerging best practices as part of partnership expansion approaches. 
• Developing a clear understanding of strategic roles and responsibilities across the partnership to underpin the emerging strategy and consider a set of principles which can be developed to support activity going forward. 
• Exploring feedback from recent partnership workshops and working collectively to translate these into strategic actions for the partnership going forward.
