The 2nd Annual Working Together To Safeguard Children & Young People Conference

In the UK there are 650,000 children reportedly living in “high risk” environments, with the number of children facing immediate safeguarding needs rising by 4% between 2017 and 2018.

Indeed, the recommendations of the Wood Review have placed a greater duty on organisations charged with safeguarding responsibilities to modernise and coordinate their efforts. Up and down the country, previously crowded local safeguarding children boards are being replaced with streamlined safeguarding partnerships, allowing organisations to coordinate their response more effectively. This on-line conference highlights the key issues that safeguarding professionals are facing and presents strategies and solutions for delivering service improvement.
