As Government consulted on its plans for the reduction of centrally prescribed guidance and considered reform of the assessment timescales for reporting on children in need, this timely seminar brought together key policymakers and stakeholders - social workers, education professionals, parents' groups and others involved with children - to discuss key reforms to the child protection system.
Delegates examined the proposals to reduce the level of detail contained in the statutory guidance for safeguarding, Working Together to Safeguard Children, discussing the likely impact of the proposals for social workers, others who work with children and children themselves. The future of Initial and Core Assessment timeframes for reviewing cases of children in need was also discussed following the Munro Review's recommendation to move to ongoing, case-by-case assessments.
