    Situation

    Last year, Staffordshire police reported a 36% increase in Child sexual offences, we also saw a 47% increase in victims seeking support. Due to this we conducted research with 15 local schools & colleges, surveying students aged 9-18. We found that though 18% did not know what consent was,100% agreed learning about consent is important and that 81% related to feeling unsafe online. Since it's launch due to an increased demand we now support young people up to 25 as well as parents & carers.

    Solution

    These findings helped us to validate our assumption that there’s a need for a service. As a result of this research, we developed a solution; Talk to S.A.L. This new confidential service provides a range of online support & anonymous live chat offering advice & information on coping & resilience for a range of topics as well as additional practical support,signposting & resources. Since it's launch in Feb '21 SAL has already had 219 users accessing support or live chat on the digital platform.
