The first 10 businesses have been accredited through CURV's Businesses Against Abuse scheme to help protect customers and be a safe place for people in Cleveland.

Middleton Grange Shopping Centre, in Hartlepool, was one of the first businesses to receive the accreditation.

Staff at Middleton Grange have received specialist training from partners including Ivison Trust, ARCH Teesside, St John Ambulance and Eva's House, to help tackle violence against women and girls, child exploitation and knife crime.

They’ve also been equipped with bleed control kits and cabinets, ensuring staff can provide life-saving first aid if needed.

Delivered by the Cleveland Unit for the Reduction of Violence, this work is helping make our town centres safer places for everyone.

Listen to parents share the signs that they noticed in their children.

On , what can you do to help protect children and young people in your community today and every day?

Become a Community Guardian.

Community Guardians are the volunteers who act as 'eyes and ears' to spot the signs of exploitation of children.

You'll receive specialist training to identify the warning signs that children are being groomed and explain how you can share your concerns.

Child exploitation can happen anywhere, and often the warning signs are first noticed by people who live, work or spend time in the community.

It's easy to become a Community Guardian! Our friends at the Ivison Trust will take you through a two-hour training course, delivered remotely on Microsoft Teams.
