Healthy relationships are fundamental to our health and happiness, but the signs of unhealthy ones can be hard to spot. Let Me Know empowers young people to stop domestic and relationship abuse before it starts. Working across 17 London boroughs, this growing charity is at the vanguard with its preventative approach. Let Me Know’s peer-to-peer workshops facilitate safe and honest conversations. They equip young people with the confidence they need to identify and challenge partner abuse.

COVID19 related funding. The Speakers project means asylum-seekers, refugees and other migrants (ASRM) in NW London who do not speak (or write) well in English (‘Speakers’) can articulate and explain their daily experiences of post-lockdown access to primary care including Covid vaccinations to bi-lingual community ‘Connectors’: 1) describe experiences, understanding and the strategies they rely on for effective access, 2) express concerns about access e.g., language, information understanding NHS structures, 3) discuss other interactions in primary health post lockdown e.g., vaccination, support for self-care and LTC, 4) ASRM with better English can input too. The project ensures asylum seekers (AS) are involved. Thousands are temporarily housed in hotels in NW London during the crisis (normally AS are housed outside London) so are not included in equality data. There have been C19 outbreaks in hotels. Providers will continue to move them around temporary accommodation across London in the coming year. Most will have to reregister and re-access primary care repeatedly causing several difficulties. Many will remain in London long term; often living in the most deprived communities. The direct insights from people’s current diverse, daily experiences will be an asset for decision makers. We need to learn fast about current realities to ensure equitable, effective, good value services in the context of post-lockdown/Covid/long Covid; ‘churn’ of AS; merger of NWL CCGs towards an ICS; developing PCN and Neighbourhood approaches. But non-fluent ‘Speakers’ rarely have equal access to practice and policy discussions. Without them health services must often depend on ‘community and faith leaders’, well-connected and confident in English, to relay individual experience from newer arrivals or serve as proxy voices. The ‘Speakers’ project recruits and trains bi-lingual ASRM to be ‘Connectors’. Their role is improving communication between local people and large institutions like the NHS. From our experience of ‘Health Connecting’ in partnership with Hillingdon CCG, Community Interpreting and Advocacy, and a pilot ‘Speakers’ project (2019/20 £GLA) REAP has developed a training and support structure. We aim for longer term ‘progression’ so earlier Connectors upgrade skills and support newer Connectors. REAP Connectors will meet Speakers face to face and remotely, talking in their own languages; mostly solo, sometimes in groups. They’ll discuss experiences confidentially and anonymously, using a series of semi-structured questionnaires and other methods. The approach combines social science method with
