| 24.07.24 Face to Face 1000-1200 Online 1400-1600 | Every Contact Counts: Child Exploitation Awareness Training | SET Safeguarding Boards and the VVU | The Southend, Essex and Thurrock safeguarding partnerships, in partnership with the VVU, have arranged two sessions for anyone in a public facing role, working with children or adults, to increase their knowledge in understanding the signs of exploitation. The briefing sessions run by Children and Young People First have been very successful in the past and have led to increased reporting, increased sharing of intelligence and also a more cohesive, joined up partnership response. The sessions are for individuals who may encounter or work alongside children and/or adults who have been victims of exploitation and wish to expand their knowledge about the spotting the signs and understand how to respond. They may be particularly useful to those organisations that participate in Operation Henderson, an awareness initiative the VVU supports that encourages people to identify and report child exploitation on public transport. The sessions will cover briefings in exploitation and modern slavery; what is exploitation?; local reporting procedures; how to disrupt exploitation; intelligence and information sharing and, moral, legal and social responsibility. There are two sessions, one online and the other face to face. All those wanting to attend either session will need to book using the links below. | Face to face session to be held in Southend (open to those in Essex and Thurrock) 24 July 2024 (10am - 12pm) Request a place.

| 04.09.24 1200-1300 | Putting the Child Sexual Abuse Response Pathway into practice | Centre of expertise on child sexual abuse | One in ten children in England and Wales will experience some form of child sexual abuse before the age of 16, yet most of this abuse is currently not identified or responded to. While surveys indicate that sexual abuse is as common as other forms of childhood abuse, such as emotional abuse or neglect, it is much less likely to be identified by professionals. Those working with children need a clear understanding of the specific actions and processes they should follow when they have concerns of child sexual abuse, to be able to act to ensure the safety and well-being of every child. To support professionals in this, we have created the Response Pathway, an interactive online resource to guide them through how they can protect and support children and their families when there are concerns of sexual abuse. This free lunch and learn webinar helps professionals learn how to starting using the Response Pathway in practice, and empowers them to understand the role they, and their colleagues, can play to best protect and support children. The session gives advice and examples of how to use the Response Pathway and explains how it supports professionals to meet the needs of children and their families. | Putting the Child Sexual Abuse Response Pathway into practice | CSA Centre | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 16.09.24 1000-1200 | Financial Exploitation | #LookCloser | The Financial Exploitation of children and young people is not new, however it is emerging as a growing concern, particularly in relation to children being tricked, coerced, and forced into financial crime. This includes being targeted by an individual or an Organised Crime Group, who exploit children and young people to commit fraud and launder criminal funds through their bank accounts. This is a form of Child Criminal Exploitation. Child Exploitation is Child Abuse. Financial exploitation can cause significant harm to a young person and have long lasting effects on their life. It can also be connected to other harms including child sexual abuse/exploitation. Yet despite this, the financial exploitation of children and young people is not well understood and can often be overlooked. At The Children’s Society, we are developing our understanding of financial exploitation and advocating for professionals to view it as a specific harm type unto itself, as well as understanding its context within and connection to other forms of exploitation and abuse. In this session for all professionals interacting with children and young people we will: • Explore recent learning and emerging insights on the financial exploitation of children and young people. • Share experiences from The Children’s Society’s national Prevention Programme’s work alongside learning from partners including law enforcement, social care, and the banking and finance sector. • Consider the implications of our findings with regards to safeguarding young people from harm and preventing their exploitation. • Create an interactive opportunity to hear about how other professionals are responding to this emerging area. • Provide a space to consider your own ability to identify and respond to Financial Exploitation and contribute to The Children’s Society’s evidence gathering and research on this topic. | Join the guestlist – #LookCloser: Financial Exploitation – Teams Live, Mon 16 Sep 2024 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM (tickettailor.com) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 17.09.24 1700-1830 | Schools – a pathway to Public health through Trauma Informed approaches to establish a healthy environment | ACAMH | About the event Creating a trauma informed and mentally healthy culture in schools benefits every member of the school community: staff parents and most significantly children and young people. A whole school approach ensures that every child grows, develop sand learns in a psychologically safe environment that protects their mental health and ensures they are supported to achieve their full potential and develop the capacity to live life well. Children enter the school system either with the advantage of experiences that allow them to take every opportunity offered to them or disadvantaged by their experiences of adversity. They then find themselves further disadvantaged by the responses to the adaptive behaviours that have helped them survive. This can leave young people with limited pathways to health, wellbeing and success. School as a pathway to public health ensures that the environment promotes psychological safety, enables equity and inclusion and facilitates children to be able to live life well, interrupting the cycle of intergenerational trauma. Learning outcomes • To understand how adversity alters brain and body systems which can translate into behaviours that challenge society. • To understand the components of a mentally healthy and trauma informed culture in school. • To identify the ways in which schools can create psychological safety and support the recovery from adversity.

| 17.09.24 1230-1330 | Supporting parents / carers when their child may have been sexually abused | Centre of expertise on child sexual abuse | Research shows that the support the child receives from their main caregivers and wider family is one of the most significant factors in affecting the longer-term impacts of sexual abuse and will have a big influence on how a child will understand and respond to what has happened. This free one-hour webinar aims to help to give professionals guidance for situations where the child has been sexually abused by an adult or adults or experienced another child’s harmful sexual behaviour, whether this has taken place inside or outside their family environment. | Supporting parents / carers when their child may have been sexually abused | CSA Centre | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 17.09.24 1545-1645 | Responding to harmful sexual behaviour in education settings | CSA Centre | There is a range of common and healthy sexual behaviour that children may display at different stages of development. If their behaviour is considered to be outside this range, it may be called ‘harmful’ because it harms them or others. Working effectively with children who have engaged in harmful sexual behaviour – sexual discussions or acts that are inappropriate for their age or stage of development – can be challenging, complex and emotional. It is vital that professionals feel equipped to help children and families understand this behaviour, and have the confidence to address this behaviour both effectively and constructively. This free one-hour webinar aims to help give professionals the knowledge and confidence to act, using the CSA Centre’s Safety planning in education guide. In this session we will explain what may be going on for children when they display harmful sexual behaviour, and what professionals can do to help children speak about what is happening. | Responding to harmful sexual behaviour in education settings | CSA Centre | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 17.09.24 1230-1330 | Spotting the signs and indicators of child sexual abuse | CSA Centre | Research indicates that just one in three children who had been sexually abused by an adult told anyone at the time. Understandably, children often find it very difficult to tell us about the sexual harm they are experiencing. There are many barriers to children sharing their experiences of sexual abuse. We know from research and data that it simply isn’t likely that a child will feel able to tell professionals directly what is happening or recognise that what is happening to them is abuse. Instead, they may show other emotional, behavioural and physical signs of their abuse. The CSA Centre’s free Signs and Indicators Template helps professionals build a picture of their concerns when they are worried that a child or young person they are working with is being, or has been, sexually abused. This one-hour session will introduce professionals to the Signs and Indicators Template and give an opportunity to use it in practice. It aims to give professionals working with children the knowledge and confidence to act when they are concerned about a child. Both the template and this webinar have been designed to support professionals across a range of organisations and agencies to systematically observe, record and communicate their concerns about the signs which may indicate child sexual abuse.

We welcomed Steve Baguley to the team to explore this issue in depth, we conducted a benchmarking tool and the results showed members required support in the transition of young people to adulthood. Steve produced a report The Journey into adulthood years– It Doesn’t Stop Just Because You Are 18 in 2018 which was well received by our network. Since then, the understanding has grown considerably, Steve has worked with several areas across England and Wales to share learning and development. We enthusiastically welcomed the opportunity to take an active part in the development of the Transitional Safeguarding briefing and share our learning. Recently we have honed our work to focus on the exploitation in transitional safeguarding as a specific angle related to the NWG aims visiting many areas to further assist in developing this work. Demand has been overwhelming and to assist in managing this demand we are creating a networking forum to share the key messages of exploitation concerning this group and hosting a quarterly online forum to keep areas informed of the key emerging messages and latest developments, we will initially concentrate on the disruption, missing agenda | NWG Exploitation in Transition Forum Tickets, Thu 3 Oct 2024 at 10:00 | Eventbrite | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 03.12.24 1545-4645 | Responding to harmful sexual behaviour in education settings | Centre of expertise on child sexual abuse | There is a range of common and healthy sexual behaviour that children may display at different stages of development.

It is vital that professionals feel equipped to help children and families understand this behaviour, and have the confidence to address this behaviour both effectively and constructively.

| LITERACY - Empower: a critical media literacy programme | National Literary Trust | Empower is our new programme designed for girls aged 11 to 14 in alternative provision. The programme will develop the skills, knowledge and resilience that students need to build their critical literacy skills, engage with and understand online media, recognise misinformation and disinformation, and articulate their world views safely in the online environment. According to the Office for National Statistics, online environments are an integral part of the lives of many young people. Surveys indicate that almost half of 10 to 15-year-olds in England and Wales spend three or more hours online on a typical school day (ONS, 2021). During that time, young people encounter not only information but disinformation. Continuing our existing work in alternative provision settings, Game Changers and Represent, this new programme offers mainstream secondary schools and alternative provision settings the chance to support the critical media literacy skills of girls and young women who have been excluded from, or who are at risk of being excluded from, mainstream education. Thanks to funding from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS), we are able to offer Empower to such settings in England for free. | here | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
