Safeguarding in practice: exploitation and children who go missing
Monday 18 October 2027
About the training day
A practical training day for managers, responsible individuals and staff working in residential children’s homes. The day explores child sexual exploitation (CSE), child criminal exploitation (CCE) and the links between exploitation and children going missing.
We will consider how to recognise concerns, understand children’s experiences and respond effectively before, during and after a missing episode. The focus is on building trusted relationships, strengthening risk assessment, working with partner agencies and ensuring that children’s voices inform safeguarding decisions. Managers and responsible individuals will also consider how effective oversight supports consistent, child-centred practice.
