'The new upcoming statutory guidance on multi-agency information sharing developed in alignment with WT 26 is not just a compliance document; it is a strategic framework designed to empower frontline practitioners and their managers. It will redefine the information sharing landscape, shifting away from the current model of 'information hoarding' to one of child-centred 'proactive, intelligence-led information sharing'.
This briefing will update you on the key shifts from consent to duty, on precision information sharing and on bridging multi-agency gaps. It will also provide you with a unique and important opportunity to ask questions, share experiences and to be part of the upcoming DfE consultation.
We are looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible on the day. ' Dr Sarah Steele Child Safeguarding Consultant and AoCPP Trustee and Policy Lead.

I think Child Abuse Review has gone from strength to strength and is of a consistently high standard. We have held numerous events that have been inspiring and enabling, such as the most recent Congresses and the Trainer's conference and award ceremony, the seminars to disseminate lessons from Serious Case Reviews. As resources get ever tighter, professionals have fewer and fewer opportunities to come together to exchange ideas and to learn together. We move more and more into silos because of work pressures. This is not the way to keep children safe. Association of Child Protection Professionals is needed to bring people concerned about child protection together to learn, to think, to shape policy and practice and to disseminate research. No-one else does this.
