Meet Shantae
Shantae was referred to Safer London due to violence and problematic sexual behaviour. Viewed as a perpetrator by many of the professionals around her, Shantae was not getting the support she desperately needed.
By working on building a strong trusting relationship with Shantae and her family, we were able to unpick what was really going on in her life. When we dug deeper into Shantae’s world, we discovered a history of abuse, exploitation and violence.
By working alongside Shantae and her family, she was able to make the progress she needed to carve out a positive future of herself.
At Safer London, we work with young Londoners and families who’ve already experienced harm and trauma as a result of violence and exploitation.
The young Londoners we work alongside have been harmed, some have harmed others - all deserve someone to stand by them. We provide consistent, trauma-informed support to children and young people affected by criminal exploitation, sexual exploitation and sexual violence, violence in the community and peer-to-peer harm
We work directly in the community, walking alongside young Londoners - helping them move from crisis to stability, and from harm to hope.
We align with the following UN Sustainable Development Goals:
