We are delighted to announce that one of the films in our ‘Voices in Sport’ resources project has been put forward for an award.  We would be honoured if you would vote for us to make sure the voices of survivors of abuse are heard.

The Smiley Charity Film Awards are the world’s largest cause-based film campaign.

Listen, Believe, Respond is a true story highlighting the numerous missed opportunities for intervention that had devastating lifelong consequences. It delves into the power of grooming and underscores the need for greater support and education for parents, teachers, coaches, and friends to recognise signs of abuse and understand safeguarding. Not being believed and being made to feel at fault can result in unimaginable trauma for victims. you can see the video and vote at https://smileycharityfilmawards.com/films/listen-believe-respond
