Swindon Safeguarding Partnership

This webinar, held on 30 June 2026, was an opportunity to find out more about learning identified within Swindon Local Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews. It highlighted the impact of adult self-neglect on parenting capacity.

The learning highlighted the importance of a ‘Think Family’ approach.

The following themes were identified:

• recognition and understanding of some types of abuse, including the way abuse can overlap and the risks and impact on the child
• lack of professional curiosity
• the voice of the child and their lived experience
• implications for practitioners
• signposting to resources available to support professional development

It is relevant to anyone working with or supporting children, young people, parents and carers, and adults.
