Do you want to know more about how partner organisations work?
Or maybe you want to know more about the challenges partner organisations face and what opportunities they have that could support you?
Have you ever wondered why partners make the decisions they do?
Or do you want to understand how other organisations risk assess and manage that risk?
How would you go about finding community and voluntary services that are available for the people you work with?
If the answer is yes to any of the above questions, come along and join us for one of our Getting to know your Partners lunchtime sessions.
These sessions will include a Q&A and you can ask your colleagues anything to do with their organisations, services and daily practices, to help you gain a better understanding and promote an improved collaborative working approach.
Cost to participants: Free (However, if a delegate fails to attend a course that they have booked, or cancel with less than five working days’ notice, their organisation will be charged)

Session details: Join us for a powerful and practical session delivered by Essex Police, shining a spotlight on the “Fake or Real? Know the Deal” campaign. This is an initiative created in partnership with BT and EE to tackle the fast‑growing risks of deepfake technology. This session will explore how AI‑manipulated images and videos are increasingly used to spread misinformation, fuel bullying and harassment, damage reputations, and even create explicit fake images of children.
Essex Police will walk you through real‑world risks, key warning signs, and the vital tools available to help families, such as the Report Remove service. Learn how to recognise deepfakes, support young people to stay safe online, and work together to build a digital world where children feel informed, confident, and protected.
