Great four-day week but lacking inclusivity and support - Anonymous employee Safer London Employee Review

Colleagues committed to supporting young Londoners Supportive line management Four day working week

Safer London is working in a tough fundraising environment so, like other charities, we face a degree of uncertainty.

The actual work with young people. The frontline practitioners.

Managers and SLT especially cultivate a toxic environment where frontline practitioners are actually scared of doing their work for fear of being reprimanded. Practitioners start doubting their abilities due to management constantly trying to find fault in their work as opposed to praise their achievements. This is especially baffling considering the emotional toll the work has on practitioners as well the so-called trauma-informed approach the organisation pretends to have. Practitioners are passionate people who care about their young people yet their life is made miserable and difficult by management and SLT. Bullies are allowed to stay in the organisation and it seems known to everyone yet nothing is done to address the situation. The turnover is incredibly high which is very telling and they will likely use the excuse of being a charity to explain it.
