For this fourth 'Culture in Child Protection' SIG session, Isobel Drew (Chair) and Vanisha Jassal (Vice-Chair), refocus the SIG's attention to beyond the UK.
We are living in a world that is influenced by international challenges that impact our socio-economic-political context. Child protection practice is not immune from this.
Led by Dr Rachel Larkin, Assistant Professor in Social Work at the University of Sussex, this session will discuss safeguarding children and young people who cross international borders and how this relates to social work's professional ethics and legal duties in the UK. It will draw on research to consider the challenges for practitioners, and identify areas of good practice.
Although there is an emphasis on social work as the lead child protection agency, this session will have relevance for all practitioners supporting vulnerable children and young people.
My membership is something I value as I work in academia, my knowledge and expertise is enhanced by the AoCPP community itself and the Child Abuse Review journal. I enjoy and receive great benefit from the opportunity to attend conference events and Congress to "tap into" cutting edge research and evidence of best practice nationally and internationally, all of which benefit the students on my teaching programmes and my own research and publications
