Since the abandoning of ‘The Heritage Centre’ and the subsequent fallout about ‘how’ the remaining funding should be allocated…..The correct proceedures via The Growing Fenland Partnership have put their own schemes forward.
All is not lost – there are enhancements for the Manor Area.
The recent formation of The Friends of The Manor – may become a vehicle to lobby and seek funding.
However as can been read on the CPCA document – this is what is being proposed for agreement.

(See Item #4)

Imagine you are 17 years old.

Imagine being left by your parents at the side of a motorway near a city you’re not familiar with. 

Imagine having to walk a mile at night, on the darkest stretch of that motorway, to the emergency SOS phone to get some help. 

That was the reality for one boy recently on the M11. He wasn’t from Cambridgeshire and had no links to here, but he needed our help and we did exactly that.

Thanks to officers from our Child Abuse Investigation and Safeguarding Unit (CAISU), he was temporarily placed in police protection and is in a safer environment while investigations continue into where he will now be happiest. 

A lot of the work from our CAISU team is sensitive in nature and difficult to share, but examples like this highlight work that goes on behind the scenes and helps highlight our commitment to protecting children – a force priority. We aim to share these examples where we can to highlight that behind the scenes work.

Do you have concerns about a child? You don’t have to be sure, but one call or report could change or even save a life. All reports can be made in confidence and can be done anonymously. 

For more information and advice on child protection, including how to report concerns, visit the force’s dedicated web page
