Session Details
As part of Argyll & Bute’s child protection improvement work following our CP audit, further multi agency sessions are being arranged to support practitioners to come together to reflect on how we support and work with young people at risk of harm outside the home.
Children face a range of complex and interconnected threats both in the physical world as well as the digital world, including abuse and exploitation. Multi-agency services play a vital role in supporting and safeguarding children who are at risk of experiencing or have experienced exploitation.
Join multi-agency partners at a half-day session to build knowledge and understanding in this complex area of work to best support and respond to children and young people at risk of or experiencing harm because of child exploitation.
The session will be a mixture of presentations and small group discussion. We hope that those attending will gain a greater understanding of child exploitation, contextual safeguarding and how we might progress this work in Argyll & Bute going forward.
Aims of the session:
- Increase understanding of child exploitation and specifically sexual and criminal exploitation
- Recognise the key vulnerability factors, risk indicators and the tactics that perpetrators use
- Understand the importance of language
- Increase confidence in identifying and responding to exploitation
- Recognise the importance of information sharing and multi-agency partnership when responding to children and young people who are being exploited and abused.
