This years annual event is taking place on Wednesday 24 October 2018 10 am to 4pm at Cumbria House, Carlisle.

At this years event we have Juliet Ramage, National Lead on Neglect for A4C presenting the learning from Ofsted’s thematic review of neglect and older children and talking about the Action for Children’s Revolving Door report. Nigel Holme from the Resilience Project will be talking to us about the impact of adverse childhood experiences from a survivors perspective.

If you would like to attend, book your place by emailing LSCB office lscb@cumbria.gov.uk

Knowing when, what and how to refer, and making that referral swiftly, is fundamental to ensure the right level of support and intervention is provided to children in need or at risk of harm. To enable us to achieve these aims we want to develop the role of ‘Neglect Practice Champions’. 

The neglect practice champions will be professionals who feel passionate about addressing the issue of neglect in Cumbria and improving practice across the LSCB partnership in relation to this area.
