 Child Safety Week takes place between
4th and the 10th of June. The week is run
by Child Accident Prevention Trust to raise awareness of the risks of
child accidents and how they can be prevented. The trust provides a range of
resources to help practitioners run local activities and events and promote
safety messages in a fun and engaging way.
The Child Accident Prevention Trust website has
a range of support material for professionals as well as a Child Safety Week Parents’ Pack aimed
at helping parents identify the key risks of accidents.
Parents, young people and education professionals will get
the opportunity to discuss education safeguarding at the district’s next Public
Forum for Education. The forum will look at the successes and the challenges
that both primary and secondary schools face. Speakers will talk about
Bradford’s priorities, what schools do well in education safeguarding, and
share examples of safeguarding good practice from primary and secondary
schools.
The forum takes place on Wednesday, 20 June 2018 from 4.30pm
to 6.30 pm in the Hockney Room, Margaret McMillan Tower, Princes Way, Bradford
BD1 1NN. Email public.forum.for.education@bradford.gov.uk to book a
place.
The first successful
prosecution for forced marriage in England has taken place. The mother involved was sentenced to four years in prison. The law on forced marriage has been in place since
2014
There is multi-agency statutory guidance to assist all professionals dealing with
cases of forced marriage. With holidays approaching, we're asking for everyone, especially safeguarding leads, to be review this information.
The Bradford Safeguarding Children Board and the Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Board
jointly deliver training on this topic.
