ACTION
Project Phoenix was established in 2013 in response to high-profile CSE cases including the 2012 jailing of nine men for grooming and abusing teenagers in Rochdale. It was set up by Greater Manchester's 10 councils and partners in a drive to get everyone working together more effectively in protecting children and bringing about successful prosecutions.
Phoenix's annual action plan is produced by a monthly steering group of managers from councils, safeguarding children boards, police and charities, chaired by its manager Damian Dallimore. He reports to an executive board of senior children's and health services directors chaired by Salford Council boss Jim Taylor, with representation from the Police and Crime Commissioner's (PCC) office. Dallimore started his role in January 2014, with funding from the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities.
