On-demand training to help you recognise the signs of neglect and improve safeguarding practice

Neglect is the most common form of abuse in the UK. But it can be difficult to identify the signs or know what action to take to protect children and support families.

This masterclass explores the key issues highlighted in case reviews where neglect was a factor. It expands on the recommended learning from reviews with practice advice to help you improve your professional practice and better support children and families.

It covers the many ways that neglect happens, the physical and emotional signs and impact, how neglect presents and overlaps with other forms of abuse and how to identify signs and vulnerabilities.

You’ll learn how the insight and recommendations from case reviews can be used to improve safeguarding, get children and families the help they need at an earlier stage and prevent similar incidents of abuse and neglect. Plus, examples from Childline and reflective activities will help you put what you learn into practice.
