Dates

This session has a focus on the what is available for multi-agency teams from a legislative perspective to strengthen the safeguarding plans for children at risk of child exploitation. Current Civil Orders will be explored, giving participants an overview of the legislation available to enhance disruption of exploitation, and protection for those at risk.

This session will explore how harm occurring outside the home can deeply impact family life, relationships, and wellbeing, and how the whole family may experience trauma when a child is exploited or repeatedly goes missing. It will also examine how professional responses including language, decision-making, and systems can either support families or unintentionally add to their distress during times of crisis.

Using a relational and contextual safeguarding approach, the webinar will encourage professionals to reflect on how they work alongside parents as partners in safeguarding. Attendees will consider how recognising parental trauma, building trust, and responding with empathy can improve engagement, strengthen protective capacity, and ultimately increase the safety of the child.
