Please welcome Sarah Pritchard to MVDA as our new Development Manager for the Cleveland Sexual Harms Network. Sarah comes to us with a passion for breaking down barriers around sexual harm and building stronger, more joined-up support across all ages and genders in Cleveland.
In her role, Sarah will be:
- Bringing together partner agencies to create a coordinated, all-ages delivery plan
- Leading the new Sexual Harms Network to improve victim experience, satisfaction and confidence in services
- Driving forward our NHS England-funded work to make sure every voice is heard and supported
Sarah (pictured centre in photo) said:
“Sexual harms are hidden in plain sight, and as a society, talking and responding to issues about sex can bring many barriers. I am committed to understanding and dismantling those barriers as this type of harm can have such a devastating impact for all”.
MVDA will host the NHSE-funded role for 18 months. The OPCC will manage the role.
