Complex Safeguarding – Exploitation

Background

Children’s Social Care has designed a model approach for assessment and planning for children who have complex safeguarding needs as a result of Exploitation.

This workshop will provide participants with an understanding of the toolkits to help assess levels of exploitation for children and young people who go missing including those at risk/involved in Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) and Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE).

This workshop will provide an overview of how the information gathered will be assessed/utilised by the Missing from Care/Home panels.

 This course is targeted at all LSCB partner agencies
