SUMMARY:Working Systemically with Families
DESCRIPTION:This session will explore how practitioners can work more effectively with families by adopting a multisystemic approach. It will focus on understanding the wider systems that influence a family’s circumstances including family relationships\, peer groups\, schools\, communities and professional networks – and how these factors can impact engagement and outcomes. \nParticipants will have the opportunity to reflect on barriers that can make it difficult for families to engage with services and consider strategies for building stronger\, more collaborative relationships. The workshop will emphasise the importance of understanding families within their wider context and working alongside them to identify and overcome challenges. \nDrawing on principles from Multisystemic Therapy (MST)\, the session will share approaches used when working with parents and carers of adolescents. However\, the learning will be relevant to all practitioners who work with children\, young people\, parents and carers\, regardless of service area or role.

SUMMARY:Transitions to adulthood: Preventing exploitation as a children approach and turn 18
DESCRIPTION:The transition to adulthood is an extremely important stage in the life of a young person\, as they explore choices around identity\, relationships\, rights and responsibilities and navigate finding their place in the adult world. But for young people harmed through exploitation and abuse\, the transitional stage from 16 to 18+ can all too often seem like a “cliff edge” (Holmes and Smith 2022)\, where the support and protection afforded to younger children can often disappear at the same time that risks of harm and abuse from perpetrators increases. \nWhat can we do to make sure that we afford older children their rights as victims of exploitation? How can we work together to ensure that young victims of exploitation are effectively identified\, safeguarded and supported across their transition to adulthood in a holistic\, child-centered way? \nIn this session\, we will: \n\nIntroduce the key principles of a transitional safeguarding approach and why this is so important for preventing and tackling exploitation in older children and young adults\n\n\nExplore the exploitation risks and harms that can impact older children across the transition to adulthood\n\n\nSeek to reframe narratives and approaches to victimhood in relation to older children and young adults who experience exploitation – and to overcome bias\, discrimination and siloed working to ensure all victims are recognised and receive appropriate support.\n\n\nReflect on our own practice and experiences of working with young people transitioning from child to adulthood.\nShare examples of promising practice in relation to transitional safeguarding for young people who have been exploited or are at risk of exploitation\n\nBook Now

SUMMARY:Why Did It Take So Long to Respond? Learning from Child Neglect Reviews
DESCRIPTION:Delivered by the Newcastle Safeguarding Children Partnership (NSCP)\, this briefing explores the findings of the Why did it take so long to respond? Child neglect: A thematic analysis published by the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel. The report draws on national safeguarding review findings to examine why neglect is so often recognised too late and the impact this can have on children’s safety\, wellbeing\, and long-term outcomes. \nThe session will highlight key learning around cumulative harm\, professional decision-making\, multi-agency working\, thresholds\, and the importance of understanding the child’s lived experience. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on how these findings apply to local safeguarding practice and consider what can be done to support earlier identification and more effective responses to child neglect.
