I had my first meeting with the Woman’s group at SPARC they are very diverse in age and ability and they seem quite set in their ways I was advised by a member of the group that they like to sit in the same place each week.  I was not introduced to any of the group clients by staff members, but one of the attendees a woman in her 60’s asked me if I would like a drink and then introduced me to the rest of the group, she also took it upon her self to advise me of who in the group had issues around being touched or directly looking at them, this did make me feel a little uncomfortable at the time but it soon passed as the group were very friendly and happy to chat to me. I have discussed this with Richard who was quite worried and seems to think this could be a safeguarding issue and has warned me to be careful. I will make a note to ask Lynn about this on my next visit.
