EVALUATION FROM THE I’M NOT LAUGHING EVENT
25TH OCTOBER 2012
The event is aimed at practitioners from partner organisations who are committed to delivering the
FOREWORD
Tameside Adult Safeguarding Partnership TASP and Tameside Hate Incident Panel THIP came together in October last year in an effort to learn from each other and reaffirm the strong links that exist between the Safeguarding Adults ‘agenda’ and Disability Hate Crime.
“Learning through drama” was the approach taken and a thread throughout the day, which, I believe was successful and brought to life the real issues that affect individuals tasked with dealing with Safeguarding and Disability Hate Crime.
We had a guest speaker, Shirley Williams the Author of TASP’s Serious Case Review of Adult A which again made ‘it real’ for those in attendance and put the issues of the day into context.
The following pages are an evaluation of this day which I believe was a success but it is only a small part in the process of ‘learning’ we need to ensure that ALL colleagues understand the issues and know the pathways that exist to sharing concerns sharing information not just within single agencies but also within a multi- agency environment.
The single most repeated recommendation from Serious Case Reviews is information sharing, we need to share our concerns and worries in a multi - agency partnership, that is not to stop individuals taking responsibility but we need to explore all opportunities to support individuals, not to duplicate or replicate but co-ordinate.
We need to re-affirm the statement of “Doing nothing is not an option” and understand that “Safeguarding is Everyone’s business”
Lastly, can I personally thank those responsible for organising this event and for the actors and guest speakers taking part, it is not an easy task but when reading the following it will be seen as well worth the effort – “so thanks”

PURPOSE OF THE EVENT
‘TASP should hold an event, within 3 months of the publication of this SCR, to bring local residents and professionals together to share the learning from this SCR, with a particular focus on how all can work together to stop the inheritance of the behaviour
that created so much torment for Adult A and his family. In addition, all agencies should consider restorative justice approaches for offenders ‘...

HATE CRIME ART PROJECT
Have your Say. Hate crime prevention project. Museums and Galleries Service and Health and Well being Service.
For the majority of people with physical and learning disabilities, it seems that bullying and harassment are just part of everyday life.
As far back as 2000, Mencap’s ‘Living in Fear’ report found that 90% of respondents with a learning disability experienced harassment and bullying, with 32% saying that it took place or weekly basis.
There is little to suggest this has improved significantly in the past decade.
The museums and galleries service has worked alongside the health and wellbeing service, working within the local community with a variety of different groups on a project basis to produce pieces of artwork that relates to how each participant feels and is made to feel within their local community.
The aim was to work together to be able to tell each story, to share experiences and to look at both the negative and the positives in our everyday life.
The aim was also to assist the local community and give them a further understanding of ‘hate crime’ and its effects within their community, to support the community and to share the experience of the participant.
Hopefully in sharing and communicating their experiences the general public and the community around us should have a more sympathetic and educated response to hate crime.
Through out this project we reflected upon the values of the ‘5 Ways to Wellbeing Campaign’, these values being:
Connect Be Active Take Notice Keep Learning Give
We involved local groups, including ‘People First Tameside’, ‘Loxley House’, ‘Our Genesis’, ‘Adult Learners, Hyde’, ‘The Freedom Club’ and adults from ‘Westvilla’, in a piece of work which enabled and empowered them to have their voice heard. After initial meetings with the groups their stories have been recorded, edited and transcribed. Following this, from the recordings made, we developed different slogans and designs that represent these feelings and created ‘protest’ banners, bags and a range of different pin badges.

WHAT YOU HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE EVENT
I thoroughly enjoyed the play, it just felt real, and made you realise what all parties were going through, and it was a good message to send
To listen to others understand that partnership work is the way forward to address such issues and that concerns need to be shared be
Developing an understanding of the usefullness of an early referral through the ASBRAC process.
Using drama really personalised the issues and made it easier to learn. discussions around the table was extremely rich and relevent
The round table, multi agency discussions. Showed how complex all our systems and approaches can be.
I enjoyed the use of actors to role play incidents, this maintained interest and encouraged participation.
