Swindon Safeguarding Partnership

Learning from local reviews have shown that professionals may not always have the confidence and knowledge to be able to identify and respond to neglect.

The aim of the Practitioner Forum was to provide professionals with information and knowledge to be able to identify and confidently respond to neglect when working with children and families. 

This session provided an opportunity to explore the following key themes:

• Identifying neglect
• Use of the neglect screening tool and chronologies to evidence concerns
• Signposting to resources to support conversations with families

This online session was facilitated by local multi-agency professionals working in Swindon.
