AOCPP Members Event: New 2026 Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy and Statutory Guidance and how it impacts you, your practice and your Child Clients
5th November 2026, 12.00 - 2.00pm
Chair: Dr Sarah Steele, AoCPP Trustee and Policy Lead
Co-Chair: Steve Myers, AoCPP Vice Chair

'This interactive session will consist of a presentation followed by an in-depth group discussion focusing on Child Protection/Safeguarding policy into practice. 

It will explore how you can navigate the new  Child Protection laws as well as the evolving policy arena of 2026 in the context of :

 

  1. a) New INFORMATION SHARING DUTY 2026.
  2. b) The CHILDREN'S WELLBEING and SCHOOLS Act 2026.
  3. c) New MANDATORY CSA reporting from the CRIME and POLICING ACT 2026.
  4. d) WORKING TOGETHER 2026 statutory guidance as well as preparation for the fuller WORKING TOGETHER 2027 update. 

It will discuss the shift away from the current reactive crisis management towards a more genuinely child-centric framework; a truly collaborative multi-agency, preventative and anti- discriminatory model of child protection and safeguarding going forward. 

It will explore how you as professionals can best manage the new laws, duties and compliance requirements, and ensure that every child including unborn babies and those in diverse care arrangements are not just safe, but are thriving in a culture of consistent, proactive protection. '  Dr. Sarah Steele, AoCPP Policy Lead and Trustee.
