Understanding complex safeguarding and responding to different forms of exploitation

What have we learnt from the practice, policy and research focus on child sexual exploitation and how can we apply this learning in responding to issues such as criminal exploitation, 'county lines', modern slavery and radicalisation?

It explores the challenges that current processes present and examines how we can design more effective and cohesive safeguarding responses.

14 - 15 June	Leamington Spa	Risks, rights and the role of the state: Leaders’ Forum Children’s and Adults’ Services are concerned not only with addressing risk and harm, but also promoting rights and social justice.

Exploring the evidence regarding risk and rights highlights leadership implications for creating a coherent system and raises questions about the role of the state in people’s lives. Run jointly by Research in Practice and Research in Practice for Adults, Leaders’ Forum will bring together colleagues from statutory and voluntary sector organisations, policy and academia to discuss the balance between risk-responsiveness and rights-enablement and to explore the role of leaders in creating the conditions required for practitioners to navigate this complex terrain.

Developing strengths-based practice requires us to learn from positive practice and feedback, within a systemic culture that is often more geared to reacting to crisis or 'failure'. This workshop will explore the principles of Appreciative Inquiry, consider how the approach may be applied to direct work and explore models for case discussion and supervision which enable strengths-based reflective practice.

August		Transitional safeguarding - adolescence to adulthood Diverse approaches can be observed between adults’ and children’s safeguarding. These differences present challenges for those seeking to effectively safeguard adolescents into adulthood and young people can feel ill-equipped for the change in practice culture they experience as they become adults. Safeguarding is a field where binary notions of childhood and adulthood have prevailed. This briefing, jointly produced by Research in Practice and Research in Practice for Adults, explores how a transitional approach to safeguarding could be developed. It looks at approaches to safeguarding adolescents and young adults fluidly across developmental stages that builds on the best available evidence, learns from both children’s and adults’ safeguarding practice and which prepares young people for their adult lives. Aimed at: Senior leaders and managers involved in safeguarding children and/or adults, in particular those with responsibility for designing and developing services and leading practice.	Strategic Briefing: Publication
August		Trauma-informed approaches with young people An introduction to trauma research for practitioners working with young people whose experiences (either earlier in their childhood and/or presently) may lead to complex traumatic responses across the lifespan. The briefing is comprised of four sections: What are the traumatic childhood experiences that adversely affect young people? What is it like for young people to live with complex trauma and how can practitioners recognise it? What can we do to support young people with complex trauma? How can we develop as practitioners to do this work? Aimed at: Social workers, family support workers and team managers in direct practice with children, young people and families.	Frontline Briefing: Publication
August		Developing and leading trauma-informed practice This briefing summarises evidence to inform the development of trauma-informed organisational and locality approaches and explains why, through using trauma-informed approaches (TIAs) to re-shape services and practice, we are more likely to be able to engage with people affected by trauma. It includes sections on: Adverse childhood experiences. Trauma and its impact on children, young people and adults. Secondary trauma amongst the workforce. Community-level trauma. Principles of trauma-informed practice. Aimed at: Leaders of child and family services including Lead Members, Chief Executives, local authority Directors, Safeguarding Board Leads.

8 November	Leamington Spa	Link Officers' Annual Meeting Join us at this year’s Link Officers’ Annual Meeting (LOAM). This popular event is a unique opportunity for Partners to share practice, discuss emerging sector issues and learn from one another. The theme for LOAM this year is understanding practice models.

What difference does it make to implement a shared framework across an organisation of locality? We will explore the evidence and share experiences in designing, implementing and working with a range of current models. If you would like to showcase the development or implementation of a practice model in your organisation, please speak to your Account Manager. There will also be opportunities to: Attend a support session for new Link Officers, an invaluable session if you have recently taken on the role.
