The number of police recorded child cruelty offences, including neglect, domestic abuse, child sexual exploitation, and child criminal exploitation is increasing.* It is essential that the right systems are in place to protect children and support families to thrive.
Join Westminster Insight’s timely Child Safeguarding Digital Conference as we examine the future of child safeguarding.
Chaired by Lynn Perry MBE, CEO of Barnardo’s, we will discuss the measures announced in the Government’sStable Homes, Built on Love Strategy and Consultation. The strategy, supported by £200 million funding over the next two years, aims to address urgent issues in children’s social care and lay the groundwork for future reform.
You’ll hear from Josh MacAlister, Chair of the recent Independent Review of Children’s Social Care. Hear his recommendations to reform and reset children’s social care and put your questions to our expert panel. What will be the impact of these reforms on child safeguarding?
We will bring together multi-agency safeguarding partners from across children’s social care, child protection, health, family hubs, police, family courts and schools. Explore the latest guidance to improve multi-agency working and information sharing in child protection.
We will explore how to build a joined-up approach to Family Help and discuss the importance of a strengths-based Family Safeguarding model – how can you build a multi-disciplinary workforce to support families and keep more families safely together? You will learn how to unlock the potential of family networks to reduce movement of children from home to home and improve transitional safeguarding outcomes.
We will be reviewing the latest trends in child sexual and criminal exploitation. Gain useful insights into how you can support families and children to recognise and understand harms outside the home, including online.
