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.
Opportunity to network with others and know I am part of a community of people committed to working for children and families; challenge to keep up to date and evidence-informed in my practice; sounding board with others for considering how best to improve policy and practice
