Changing young lives for safer futures

🚨 DANGEROUS UPDATE: 🚨 London’s schools are

🚨 DANGEROUS UPDATE: 🚨
London’s schools are on red alert.

The “School Wars” trend currently circulating on TikTok isn’t just another viral challenge. It is the gamification of violence, where children are encouraged to “score points” by harming their peers for digital engagement.

This came up multiple times today alone in our conversations with the young people we work with. That tells us something important: this is not distant internet noise. It is filtering into real school corridors, real friendships, and real vulnerabilities.

At Lasting Support, we believe every child deserves to feel safe in their uniform. When we see behaviour like this, we don’t see “bad kids”. We see unmet needs, trauma, a search for belonging, and the powerful pull of digital status.

Parents and carers, this is the moment to talk!

You don’t need to panic. But you do need to ask:
• Have you heard about this trend?
• What are your friends saying about it?
• How does it make you feel?
• What would you do if someone asked you to take part?

Open conversations reduce risk. Silence increases it.

How you can help right now:

• Interrupt the algorithm – Don’t share, comment on, or rage-post these videos. Engagement increases reach.

• Report directly – Reporting to the platform disrupts visibility at the source.

• Share with other adults – Awareness is our strongest safeguarding tool.

• Save for your next parent or team briefing – These are the “hard-to-talk-about” risks shaping youth culture right now.

If this trend has affected your child, school, or community, or if you’re unsure how to start the conversation, please contact us. Early intervention matters.

Every child deserves safety. Online and offline.

Lasting Support’s COO @faysalcurry and Facilitator @payzeespeaks were proud to deliver a session on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) at the Multi-Agency ‘Honour’-Based Abuse Conference 2026.

In collaboration with @thevavengers , we contributed to discussions on the newly launched Global FGM Report, highlighting prevalence, barriers to reporting, and the urgent need for coordinated multi-agency action.
We are proud to be partners of the One Question Campaign,

FGM is violence against women and girls and a safeguarding issue.

Thank you to all agencies committed to strengthening responses and protecting women and girls.

Today, we were saddened to hear of the passing of

Today, we were saddened to hear of the passing of Dr Aysha Raza, Ealing Council’s first-ever Muslim woman Cabinet Member and representative of Central Greenford. Spending so much of her time as a fierce advocate for social justice and tackling inequalities, particularly those in health, as well as her tireless advocacy for the NHS, Dr Raza is a reminder that no voice is too small to speak up for what we truly care about.

Dr Raza was dedicated and passionate about ensuring that those in her ward received the utmost respect and care. Devoted to the causes near and dear to her, she frequently made sure to attend and support many in our local community, ensuring that no one felt left out or behind. She was always a familiar face that brought joy, kindness and peace to those around her. We send so much love to her loved ones and hope we can all take a page from her book and engage with our neighbours and community members as individuals with stories to share, as she so often did.

We were honoured to welcome Fuzhan Abasi and her team from @familyfirstlawyersuk who have partnered with us to provide specialist legal support and drop-in sessions for our parents as part of our domestic abuse provision.
At Lasting Support, we provide therapeutic support to families affected by domestic abuse but healing must sit alongside protection and access to justice. Fuzhan and her team delivered an incredibly insightful session covering the different legal orders available to survivors, how they work in practice, barriers to accessing legal support, post-separation abuse, and how to safely manage child contact arrangements.
For many of the families we support, navigating the legal system can feel overwhelming and retraumatising. This partnership ensures parents have access to clear, compassionate, trauma-informed legal guidance alongside therapeutic care.
We are deeply grateful to Fuzhan and her team for strengthening protective pathways for survivors and standing alongside our families as they rebuild their lives with safety and confidence.

In rooms like this, we don’t trade in fear.
We listen, we challenge, and we choose connection every time.

Because the only thing more powerful than hate has always been love.

"We know young children are being failed on a daily basis."

For years, Lasting Support has worked on the frontline as a specialist safeguarding organisation offering interventions, evidence-based specialist training, and therapeutic support. But more than that, we have emerged as a service dedicated to ensuring the futures of young people and children across the UK do not fall by the wayside.

In collaboration with Piotr Karter and Human Focus Films, we present a look into Lasting Support's mission and our hope for the future. No young person, child, or their families should be left behind.

Thank you to Piotr and his team for this incredible video, and thank you to our fantastic team, Rebecca Moore, Payzee Mahmod, Rachel Cullen, Faysal Curry, Haaniyah Angus, Chris Wild and Warda Mohamed, for their work in ensuring our vision for a better future is realised.

In an increasingly frightening online world, safeg

In an increasingly frightening online world, safeguarding our children means safeguarding the adults around them too.

We recently delivered teacher training at @thomasscollege focused on protecting children from online exploitation — equipping staff with the knowledge, confidence and practical tools needed to recognise risks, respond early, and keep children safe.

This work has never been more urgent. Children are being targeted online in ways that are evolving faster than many systems can keep up with — and schools are on the frontline.

If you would like us to deliver safeguarding training for your staff, please get in touch at info@lastingsupportservices.com

🎉 Happy New Year from The Lasting Support Team!

🎉 Happy New Year from The Lasting Support Team!

In 2026, we're kicking off a series of workshops with the London Borough of Lambeth (@lambeth_council) to deliver evidence-based tools and knowledge that safeguard against online radicalisation while addressing the unique challenges faced by neurodiverse young people and children.

Ideal for:

- Teachers and SEN staff
- Youth workers and early help professionals
- Social workers and safeguarding leads
- Mental health and support service providers
- Police, Prevent teams, and community safety officers
- Anyone working with vulnerable or neurodiverse communities

These workshops will help you stay ahead of fast-evolving extremist tactics online and teach you how engage with digital spaces and protect those at risk.

We’re proud to see Chris Wild (@ccwild79) speak

We’re proud to see Chris Wild (@ccwild79) speak on @lbc about the grooming gang scandal and the urgent need to put children’s safeguarding above politics, ideology, or fear.

Chris highlights what those of us working on the frontline know all too well: when conversations become polarised or avoided, it is children who are left unprotected.

Meaningful safeguarding requires honesty, cultural competence, accountability, and the courage to act early.

At Lasting Support, our work is grounded in trauma-informed practice and a commitment to ensuring that every child is believed, protected, and supported, regardless of background.

This is a difficult but necessary conversation, and one that must always centre victims and survivors.
