This week is Look Closer Awareness Week (8 – 12 February 2021). Organised by The Children’s Society, the campaign is supported by the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) and police forces across the country including British Transport Police.
The campaign is to raise awareness of child exploitation and urges the public and people still going out work to keep an eye out for children who may be at risk in public spaces, which continue to be in use during lockdown.
These spaces include parks, supermarkets, takeaways and banks, as well as in taxis and on trains. All places where it may be easier for criminals to groom and transport children and exploit them into illegal activity in plain sight.
The charity says exploited children and young people may not always appear vulnerable or act the way we expect victims to behave, possibly displaying angry or aggressive behaviour which can be a sign of trauma.
International Day of Women and Girls in Science is a global celebration of women who work and contribute to the major scientific findings that we see every day, in the past and in the future. It is celebrated every year on 11 February.
The day is an important reminder of the accomplishments of women and girls in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) careers and is an opportunity to promote full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls and to encourage equality in the STEM fields.
Following the success of our annual Routes to Work Careers Fair held at Alexandra Palace, we are delighted to confirm that this year, Haringey Council will be hosting an online event in conjunction with Capital City College Group and Haringey Sixth Form College.
This will take place over three days next week:
Tuesday 2 February – Further education (options post year 11)
Wednesday 3 February – Apprenticeships
Thursday 4 February – Higher education (universities)
The Careers Fair is intended for Year 10, Year 11 and Year 12 students.
All previous years’ events were very successful and well attended by Haringey young people and parents/carers, and we’re sure there will be something for everyone this year too.
Students who are considering their post-16 options, whether at Entry and Foundation level or at A Level or BTEC Level 3, will be able to meet a range of providers with information regarding the different opportunities on offer.
Students and parents/carers can register free of charge in advance via the following links:
