Samaritans says it has introduced new safeguarding measures after volunteers met vulnerable callers for sex.

The charity, which offers a helpline to people in distress, will reportedly monitor calls in future to prevent inappropriate relationships.

The Telegraph found incidents of middle-aged men using their position to meet up with female callers for sex.

The charity told the BBC it did not dispute that a "very small number of safeguarding incidents" had occurred.

Samaritans chief executive Julie Bentley said the "extremely rare" incidents had been identified and that swift and appropriate action had been taken.

According to the Telegraph, a memo to volunteers said 44 serious incidents had occurred since 2017.

Ms Bentley said Samaritans' 20,000 volunteers provided vital emotional support to anyone who is struggling, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Volunteers on the charity's telephone service have answered more than 13 million calls in the four years from January 2017, she said.

'Robust investigation'

"Running any national service on this scale means that, on extremely rare occasions, high standards are not always met and from the millions of calls answered, a very small number of safeguarding incidents were identified," said Ms Bentley.

"Our robust investigation procedures meant these incidents were handled swiftly and appropriate action taken.

"Any safeguarding matter is one too many and as such we review our practices on an ongoing basis and have introduced further measures as part of our commitment to delivering a consistently high-quality experience for our callers."

Incidents are investigated by the charity's Serious Safeguarding Panel and are reported to the Charity Commission, Samaritans said.

They only felt safe doing that if their superiors demonstrated it.

Rape culture is synonymous with so called western culture. It's a huge problem anywhere women are vulnerable and disenfranchised. It happens in our work places with alarming regulaity and our military has a huge problem with our male soldiers raping and sexually harassing female soldiers and if these females report they are retaliated against as the SARC office is run by the rapists friends. When polled? Number one fear of female soldiers going on deployment? Being raped by our own guys. Not the enemy. Not dying. Not seeing death or killing people. Getting raped by their brothers. 

It's basically synonymous with white men in power. Police. All sorts. 

Just ask a prostitute how many times they've been raped by a cop.

rape culture is synonmous with unequal access to legal protection and services, justice  for females /children  it is a world wide phenomenon . the armed services especially the navy are notorious for sexually exploiting and assaulting females serving or civilians manning bases.

It's part of the cult as per this disclosure. Not sure which part talks about rape specifically but you can check the script before watching. Here's part 1:

authorities are not keeping these vulnerable women and children safe often turning blind eye and sometimes even participating in the abuse. Its high time we set up our own organisations and take justice in our own hands. who cares if some of us go to prison if we are organized properly we can support brothers and sisters who get locked up for doing the right thing

okay...well that's quite a major thing! 

A lot of us cannot afford to get criminal records

Grooming gang member wins shorter sentence

A grooming gang member who plied an Oxford schoolgirl with cannabis and booze during a ‘campaign of rape’ has had three years wiped from his 24 year jail sentence.

Predator Naim Khan, 43, was given the two-and-a-half decade term last year after jurors at Oxford Crown Court found him guilty of rape, indecent assault and supplying cannabis to his victim.

Together with other men, he was said to have treated the girl - who was in her early teens when the abuse was carried out between 1999 and 2001 - as a ‘commodity’. He had waited for her at the school gates, gave her alcohol and drugs and pimped her to others.

Lawyers for the former east Oxford man took the case to the Court of Appeal, saying the sentencing judge had only paid ‘lip service’ to the fact Khan had been jailed for six years in 2016 for grooming other girls. By imposing a 24 year term in 2020 it meant Khan was in effect jailed for 30 years, which was said to be manifestly excessive.

Lord Justice Bean told goateed Khan, who watched the hearing via prison video link, that there was ‘force’ in the argument put forward by brief Tracy Ayling QC.

 

“Khan’s offending, although very serious, would not have attracted a total sentence as long as 30 years had all the matters been dealt with at the same time. We think that the total sentence, which would have been imposed in that event would have been of the order of 27 years,” he said.

The panel of three appeal judges reduced the sentence imposed in 2020 from 24 years to 21 years.

A co-defendant, Mohammed Nazir, 46, was refused permission to appeal his 20 year sentence for rape, indecent assault and cannabis supply.

In 2020, Nazir, of Wood Farm Road, was found by the jury to have repeatedly sexually assaulted the girl - although he was not a member of Khan’s grooming gang, it was said.

On one occasion he took her to a house in Marston and made her have sex with a ‘friend’ of his who had travelled down from Birmingham. She was subjected to another group assault at the Marston property.

In a victim personal statement, read to the court by Lord Justice Bean, the woman said the abuse she suffered in her early teens had ruined any chance she’d had to live a normal life. She had suffered from anxiety and depression, falling into drug use and committing petty crimes to fund her addiction.

“These men have destroyed my life,” she said.

Lawyers for Nazir claimed sentencing judge Peter Ross was wrong to conclude the victim was particularly vulnerable or there had been a significant degree of planning or ‘commercial exploitation’ of the girl. The judge had not taken account of the fact he had no relevant convictions, his age at the time and the fact Khan’s offending was more serious, it was argued.

Those arguments were rejected by the Court of Appeal. Turning down the renewed application for permission to appeal, Lord Justice Bean noted the sentencing guidelines suggested sentences of 20 years or more may be appropriate for cases involving a ‘campaign of rape’. Judge Peter Ross, who heard the evidence during the trial, was ‘fully entitled’ to put the case into the highest category on the sentencing guidelines.

Lord Justice Bean said: “In short, this was a case of a number of very serious sexual offences against a girl who was only a little over the age of 13, below which even more serious offences of rape of a child under 13 would have been committed - who was vulnerable, who was exploited by a gang and who was pimped.

“In those circumstances...we can see no arguable ground for finding that the sentence of 20 years’ imprisonment imposed by Judge Ross was in any way excessive.”

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
