SAFE Forum
The Safe forum was set up in the summer of 2013 to build a broad, diverse and invaluable network of agencies and professionals who work with and support families in Essex. The forum was created in response to the impact of constant changes to legislation and monetary cut backs.
SAFE Forum
On the 18th September 2013 the inaugural SAFE forum meeting took place at the YMCA Chelmsford. Since that time the forum has grown in members. We have regular meetings at which we have guest speakers and share updates and discuss issues that we may be facing.
The introduction of this online forum will further facilitate our goal of being able to come together and work together to achieve the best possible outcome for families in Essex.
As you will see there is forum within which you can share information and ask questions.

Come along to our next SAFE Forum Meeting…
Our next SAFE Forum meeting will take place on Wednesday 14th September at the Chelmsford branch of Fisher Jones Greenwood.
Arrive at 2.30pm for an informative afternoon of networking and a talk from guest speaker Greg Myddelton – the Assistant Director for the Commissioning Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner for Essex.
The ideology behind the creation of the SAFE Forum is to reach out to other support agencies working with families in Essex and create a strong, knowledgeable network to best assist one another and care for our client base.
Greg Myddelton is currently working on behalf of the Police & Crime Commissioner to ensure victims are provided with adequate provision and consistency of support. He will talk about the services that are available and how to work towards ensuring that there is no sex/age/race bias and how there should be a seamless pathway of support.
If he cannot answer your questions on the day, he will revert back to you after the meeting.
Tea, coffee and refreshments will be provided.
