SUMMARY:Working Together 2026 and the Changing Safeguarding Landscape
DESCRIPTION:This briefing provides an overview of the current safeguarding framework and explores the key policy developments shaping practice across children’s services and partner agencies. Centred on Working Together to Safeguard Children (2026)\, the session will examine the legislative foundations of safeguarding\, the government’s wider reform agenda\, and the significant changes being introduced through the Families First Partnership Programme and Family Help reforms. \nParticipants will gain an understanding of how safeguarding responsibilities are evolving\, with increasing emphasis on early intervention\, multi-agency collaboration\, family-led solutions\, information sharing\, and anti-racist practice. The session will also explore the practical implications of key guidance\, including Keeping Children Safe in Education (2025)\, and consider what these developments mean for practitioners working across education\, health\, social care\, policing\, housing\, voluntary sector organisations and other safeguarding partners.

SUMMARY:Restorative Practice Awareness
DESCRIPTION:Restorative Practice is a pro-active strengths-based approach that reinforces the importance of building and maintaining positive relationships by seeking to understand the needs of the people in your community. The Restorative Approach involves a journey of change using the principles of collaboration and inclusion. \nIn this session we will look at the behaviours and skills that you already use in your practice\, to create these long-lasting relationships\, as well as reflect on how your actions and attitudes can influence and change relationship dynamics. This interactive session will combine presentation material with reflective activities and opportunities for delegates to ask questions. \nBy the end of the session you will be able to map your practices against the ‘Four ways of being’ model\, and begin to reflect on how you can start to encourage and empower others using high challenge and high support. You will have a greater understanding of techniques that can be used to build connections and community\, for example ‘Check in circles’. \nBooking Form \nTo book a place\, please complete booking form and return to wfdadmin@newcastle.gov.uk
