We stand united in the fight against #ModernSlavery. Thank you to UKCMA members, The SES Group for highlighting the crucial campaign launched by Crimestoppers Trust UK: Modern Slavery in Plain Sight. Modern slavery is happening in our communities, often in plain sight and deeply intertwined with our lives without us realising it. Every day, people are coerced and forced into exploitative situations they can't refuse or leave. Crimestoppers is urging everyone to speak up and not remain silent when they know or suspect someone is a victim of modern slavery. The campaign focuses on three strands: 👉 Modern slavery on high streets 👉 Victims hidden in plain sight 👉 Exploitative recruitment practices Crimestoppers emphasise that their vital service will always remain 100% anonymous. If you've seen or suspect crime and don't want to speak to the police, you can contact Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111 or online, 24/7, 365 days a year.

Last week, Manitoba agreed to pay $530 million to children in the care of Manitoba’s child and family services (CFS) agencies to resolve a long running dispute over the Children's Special Allowance (CSA). The CSA is a federal benefit paid to CFS agencies that is to be used for the care, education, training, and advancement of children in care. For 14 years, Manitoba forced CFS agencies to pay over $335 million in CSA benefits to Manitoba, leaving the agencies grossly underfunded and depriving vulnerable children of much-needed resources. In 2022, the Manitoba Court of King’s Bench declared Manitoba’s actions unconstitutional. Three class actions were subsequently commenced to recover damages for the children affected by Manitoba's action, including a class action specifically for children in the care of Métis CFS agencies.  The settlement with Manitoba, once approved by the Court, will settle all three class actions. Niklas Holmberg and I, together with Murray Trachtenberg and Genevieve Y. Benoit, had the great privilege to act for the plaintiffs in the Métis CFS agencies class action – the representative plaintiffs, René Lafontaine and Mary Derendorf; the Métis CFS agencies, Métis Child, Family and Community Services and Michif Child & Family Services; and the Métis Child and Family Services Authority. The Métis CFS Agencies and the Métis Authority operate under the auspices of the Manitoba Métis Federation, the national government of the Red River Métis.  $84,800,000 will be paid to settle the Métis CFS agencies class action.  It is an outstanding result that holds Manitoba accountable for a truly egregious course of conduct, and that will provide meaningful compensation for some of the most vulnerable members of society.  Read more below.

9 sleeps to conference!!! The only problem I have is there are so many good speakers in the breakout sessions, and I can only be in one session at a time. A good problem to have, I guess. #FraudConference #OxfordInvestigationService

I can feel the profound emotional impact this experience has had on you. Witnessing such violence, especially after spending time engaging with individuals in prison, must have been deeply distressing and challenging to process. It's understandable that you're feeling heartbroken and compelled to take action to protect yourself and your family. The juxtaposition of spending time with those incarcerated and then witnessing violence in your own community highlights the complex and multifaceted nature of social issues such as crime and inequality. It's a stark reminder of the interconnectedness of various societal factors and the realities that many individuals and communities face on a daily basis. Your decision to sell up and move out of Croydon reflects a deeply personal response to the situation. It's a decision driven by a desire to ensure the safety and well-being of your children, which is undoubtedly a top priority for any parent. It's a difficult choice to make, especially when it involves leaving behind a place you love and have likely called home for some time. At the same time, your decision underscores the broader systemic challenges that communities like Croydon may be grappling with, including issues related to crime, poverty, and social inequality. While moving away may provide a sense of physical safety, it also raises questions about the underlying issues that contribute to such violence and what can be done to address them effectively. It's important to acknowledge the range of emotions you may be experiencing right now – from sadness and fear to frustration and perhaps even anger. These feelings are valid responses to a situation that is deeply unsettling and distressing. Ultimately, your decision to prioritise your family's safety is understandable, and I hope that wherever you choose to go, you find the peace and security you seek. #MTICBIAI #MyTraumaIsChronicButIAmIconic #Heartbreak #CommunityViolence #FamilySafety #MovingDecisions #ProtectingChildren #SocialChallenges #SupportNetwork #EmotionalResilience #CommunityEngagement #SafetyFirst #ParentingJourney #CopingStrategies #NavigatingAdversity #BritishCommunity #StayingConnected
