FACES Luton
We’re a charity based in Luton, working to build resilience within faith communities against child sexual exploitation and other forms of harm. As a Christian and Muslim partnership, dialogue and learning from shared experiences as well as different perspectives is at the heart of what we do. On our channel we talk about: faith and our experiences and responsibilities as people of faith; safeguarding including challenges and best practice with an emphasis on accounting for difference and overcoming bias; identity and how this interacts with experiences of harm and responses to abuse; young people, community and more.
