Child Safeguarding Conference 2018

“Good leadership is crucial if we want to support and encourage frontline staff to deliver excellent care for children and young people.” - Nadhim Zahawi, Children’s Minister

There are 650,000 children living in “high risk” environments in the UK while 800,000 young people are suffering with some form of mental health problem. In response, the Government has announced £17 million of additional funding to improve children’s services and unveiled plans to increase information sharing across safeguarding organisations.

In January 2018 the Children’s Commissioner published the “Life in Likes” report, highlighting how new technology presents a new safeguarding challenge. Experts believe the anxiety and stress caused by social media use is a contributing factor to a growing mental health crisis among school children.

Join us for the Child Safeguarding Conference 2018 where expert speakers will explain how your organisation can keep the most vulnerable children safe from harm. Understand the implications of recent developments including the Children and Social Work Act 2017 and the “Keeping Children Safe in Education” statutory guidance, learn how to overcome the challenges posed by new technology and discuss how public sector bodies can do more to protect children at a time when budgets are under pressure.
