It is essential that you have lived experience of being affected by criminal exploitation & violence, which is typically associated with ‘gangs’ and county lines (for more information about what we mean when we say ‘affected by criminal exploitation & violence’ please read here)

You want to use your voice for positive change for young women & girls affected by criminal exploitation & violence
We understand that the language used by professionals, including us, is not always reflective of the experiences young women have. Part of the recruitment process will include discussing with the Participation team what is lived experience of criminal exploitation & violence.
If you have any questions or require any support with this process, the Participation team will be happy to help. Please email participation@abianda.com or text us on 07533 029088.
