The Children’s Society wins national EVCOM Screen Award for film on child sexual abuse

July 5, 2017

A hard-hitting film aimed at training health professionals about the signs of child sexual abuse and exploitation has won a prestigious award. Seen and Heard by the national charity, The Children’s Society, won Gold in the Training category last week on Friday 23 June at the 2017 Evcom Screen Awards, known in the industry as the Oscars of specialist videos.

The film is part of a powerful campaign and e-learning package created by The Children’s Society which was commissioned by The Department of Health and supported by NHS England to help all health care professionals to spot the signs of child sexual abuse and know how to encourage young people to talk about it.

The film centres on the story of a young teen called Tyler who has been sexually abused by a member of his family for many years and is worried his younger brother may be next. We see Tyler coming into contact with a number of potential professionals who could help him but time and again they fail to spot the signs. It is the actions of a kind and patient radiographer who eventually gives Tyler the time and opportunity to tell his story.

Seen and Heard launched in July last year and has already trained thousands of health staff to detect child sexual abuse and continues to be rolled out to healthcare locations across the country. Although the hour-long learning programme focuses on staff working in the health service, it is relevant to anyone who works with children and is freely available to all.

The Children’s Society appointed White Boat TV to produce the film which was developed with the help of over 100 young people, some of whom were victims of sexual abuse. Last year the film also won Best Commissioned Film at the Haelo Film Festival Awards, which recognise the best in public sector films.

Matthew Reed, Chief Executive of The Children’s Society, said: “We are delighted that our film won Gold in the Training category at the Evcom Screen Awards. One in 20 children in the UK has been sexually abused and many do not feel able to report their abuse or it goes unnoticed or misunderstood.

“We’re pleased that our film and training is helping healthcare professionals including receptionists, doctors, nurses and anyone who works with children to help them recognise the signs of abuse so children are seen and heard and they get the protection and support they deserve.”

Catherine Davies, Team Leader for tackling child sexual abuse at the Department of Health, said: ‘I would like to congratulate The Children’s Society for their award winning film, which is a really useable learning resource to raise awareness of child sexual abuse.’

Lisa Cooper, Regional Lead for Safeguarding for NHS England North, said: ‘We are delighted to have been a partner in the development and promotion of this work to all health staff. This film is helping all health staff to recognise and support children and young people at risk of or experiencing child sexual abuse, so as to provide support, advice and protection.’

It was again incredible, to feel, hear and see the support, enthusiasm and love for wild horses from the general public! It is one of the most important things for all legislators and public officials to understand; your constituents love wild horses and want to see them preserved and treated humanely!! We had an awesome time in the Parada del Sol Parade, here is a little view from our perspective, thank you Scottsdale!! #paradadelsolparade ... See MoreSee Less

Salt River Wild Horse Management Group is feeling drained.

We really appreciate the great support from literally thousands of you; the shared sorrow seems a little lighter and gives a real sense of close community and shared love. Thank you from our many broken hearts. 💔But we don't really appreciate it when some people hurry and try to post on their pages, before we do, about sensitive information. 🙄We want to warn everyone that just because pages have the word Salt River horses or mustangs in it, does not mean they are part of our group, or even remotely support our group. In fact they exist only to compete with our group, by stealing our proprietary information and acting as if it is their own. 🤮We are not talking about normal nice pages about the horses. We are talking about the wolves in sheepsclothes. Their "news" is only begotten from rumor, is inaccurate most of the time and purposely has NO mention of our group name, so they can act as if they did the effort. 🤔👉If you have good intentions, please share our posts, do mention our name, and give us a little credit for how hard we work. We, as a group, work hard not only for the horses, but also to give accurate information to the public. We feel blessed to do this work, and because of that, we probably don't ever convey how hard it really is. The communication system and organization it takes from the top down, the directors conveying directions, volunteers following those directions and working together as a team, conveying information back again, documenting everything, and everyone giving it their all, doing what it takes, each and every time. This is not only during emergencies, there is something to handle every day...and no one gets paid a dime for their time including directors and president. We need every donation for our costs of operation. IF in doubt about the page you are on, just check if our name is posted and mentioned, it is SRWHMG for short. There are also many pages which do support our important work and share our posts ofcourse, please know we are NOT talking about those pages. We are talking about pages who steal our information and act like they did it, without ever mentioning where they got the info. They never name their source and therefore steal the credit and even take donations away from people who really mean to give it to the Salt River horses. We are the ones who organize the search party, logging every spot we've searched, making sure we don't double track, cover every square foot of the forest, with many many volunteers who took days off from work and time away from their families. If we didnt do that, no one would know what happened to sweet Mirabelle, right? Do those pages know how many square miles we had to cover? How cold the river is in February? How hard it is to see her sweet face without the life in it? She's a needle in a huge forest, covered under a tree. She's 5 months of watching out for her, she's days of monitoring when she was brand new, when it was 118 degrees. She's pride and joy, she's freedom, she's proof that wild horses can be managed humanely, she's the culmination of everything we stand for.Sorry, that's why we don't appreciate you stealing our sensitive news at a sensitive time.We have no time to have fun photographing horses because we are too busy monitoring injuries, counting bands, darting birthcontrol, fixing fences and cleaning up their environment. So that they can stay wild and free for all to see and enjoy. If you want to help, we can always use more volunteers. We get one reward only; knowing that we make a difference. Sorry, today was not a good day to ruffle our feathers. Tomorrow, just carry on with your mean girl jealous know it all shitty stuff, we will record it as evidence, laugh at the ignorance and carry on. Thank you everyone, for understanding. ...

With a heavy heart we have to tell you that our search team found Mirabelle deceased this afternoon. We are so sorry, we know this will fall hard on so many horse advocates in our community, as it does on us. The SRWHMG team as well as AZDA Liaison Makenzie, investigated the body and the scene around it thoroughly, and all of the evidence clearly shows that it was a mountain lion attack. We were not quite sure if we still had mountain lions anymore, but now we know for sure. There were tracks, clear puncture wounds from large teeth and a mountain of sand on top of her (cashing), which is what mountain lions do when they want to preserve their prey for later. We have pictures of the evidence, but are choosing not to post those and will remember all of her happy days instead. Out of respect for nature we are leaving Mirabelle where we found her and we ask the public to do the same. Mirabelle's band knows what happened and they have accepted her loss. It is a terrible loss for them and it is a terrible loss for us, our volunteers, and the entire community. We find comfort in knowing how wonderful her life was and how loved she was by so many people. We want to thank everyone for your concern and for helping to search. We have a wonderful horse community. In honor of Mirabelle we also want to remind all horse advocates that there are wild horse babies who are less fortunate than Mirabelle. Bands with foals are being caught in northeastern Arizona and sold without limitation on slaughter, by the Apache Sitgreaves Forest Service. (not our Forest Service) There is now a bill that will prevent killing and slaughter of the Alpine wild horses, it is Senate Bill S.B. 1057, and we need to pass it. Please grieve for Mirabelle and then stand up for the Alpine wild horses in her honor, by calling your State Senators to support and pass S.B. 1057! This is the number : 602-926-3559 you can call and ask politely who your State senator is (just give them your address) then she will connect you with his/her office. Don't just leave a message, but try to really connect with your Senator! Thank you everyone! Remember; at least she was born free and died free. Rest in Peace Sweet girl.
