The conference was an opportunity to discuss progress and emerging issues as local authorities, police forces and the NHS prepare for implementation of new child protection arrangements, as local authorities transition from local safeguarding boards to new safeguarding partnerships in September 2019.
Delegates looked at how local authorities are progressing in setting up the new arrangements and key lessons learnt from the NCB’s early adoptor programme ahead of full implementation.
Sessions considered the future responsibility of schools and colleges in the protection of children, including how safeguarding partners can engage with schools and ensure they work effectively alongside social workers and other agencies.
There was also discussion on the concept of contextual safeguarding and the need to protect children from violence and abuse in environments beyond the home.
