This talk explores the unconscious biases that can influence the behaviour and decision-making of health and social care professionals when supporting women and children experiencing abuse. It will examine how these biases can shape assessments, interactions, and outcomes, often in ways that undermine the quality of support provided. Emphasising the critical role of cultural competence, the session will highlight practical strategies for recognising and addressing both personal and systemic biases. By fostering a more culturally aware and responsive approach, professionals can enhance their ability to provide empathetic, equitable, and inclusive care to those affected by abuse.
It has improved my knowledge and understanding about the range of harms caused to children and their impact as I have been able to network with a wide range of experts from the UK and beyond. There is no other multidisciplinary association for child protection professionals focused on learning to support and improve practice and policy
