This presentation explores the ways in which we conceptualise and understand child neglect in our professional practice. Due to its conceptual complexities, neglect can often be more difficult to evidence and effectively articulate in safeguarding practice compared to other forms of child maltreatment. As a social construct, neglect can change over time, place and culture, with our understandings informed by ideas about what constitutes ‘good enough’ care of children in our communities. This can raise challenges for practitioners in reaching shared understandings of neglect when working across professional, organisational, and cultural boundaries. This session provides an opportunity to pause and reflect upon the ways we conceptualise child neglect in our practice, and consider the ways this may impact our multi-professional practice when supporting children and their families.
Attendees are provided with a free taster chapter from Victoria’s book ‘Working with Children who have Experienced Neglect’.
