As Duncan Craig explains, it is about understanding the lifelong care for victims and survivors of sexual violence.
For me, that feels like a brand new way of working. Commissioners, policy leaders, service providers and commissioners all authentically working towards the same goal with the same purpose.
Then when you have all of that understood, you then have to write business cases, funding bids, and strategic plans, and all with a small team of one or two. So often, I have spent time working out who I need to speak to that will understand the gap in services I am trying to fill or the need I am trying to meet, and time that could be spent delivering the actual service.
This document sets out for me as a provider and those that commission services for us survivors, whose responsibility it is to engage in discussion, develop business cases, and fund or commission services. I cannot express enough how much this document is truly going to be life changing. Duncan is the founder and Chief Executive of Survivors Manchester, a third sector organisation offering therapeutic and advocacy support to boys and men affected by sexual abuse, rape and sexual exploitation.
He is the co-founder of the Male Survivors Partnership, a consortium of male survivor organisations working together to create quality assured support; and most recently has travelled to New York, Iceland, Portugal and New Zealand to talk about the work he does and supporting others to break the silence.
