The Partnership is providing training and learning opportunities throughout July, both online and in person.

Please be mindful that some of the training is hosted by external agencies and must be booked via their providers.

We are providing two bitesize briefs containing concise summaries of the national learning from cases that have featured in the news.

These are available as learning modules on the LMS and feature a short recording, transcript of summaries of the information, and a selection of practice questions designed to help you reflect on the learning within your teams.

The ERSCP contributed to the learning offer during this year's Safeguarding week (15 - 19 June).

We were involved in a number of learning sessions, with significant reach across the region.

We would like to thank everyone for their continued engagement and enthusiasm when accessing the offers during our annual Safeguarding Week. Without our facilitators and delegates, it would not be a success, and the awareness gained would not be as great. 

The child death overview panel (CDOP) has a number of updates for the summer months, including a new booklet for all education settings for responding to a child death.

Should such a tragedy occur, there is expert and free support available for pupils in education settings aged 0 - 17 to help in responding to a child’s death.

A new booklet with information about the immediate response and the longer term impact of a child’s death on an education setting is now available on HERE for schools. You can also request a copy by emailing the CDOP or the ERSCP team.

The CDOP also shares resources for:

• Water safety campaigns
• Carbon monoxide safety during the summer holidays
• Top tips for summer safety on the roads
• Keeping babies safe advice
• Keeping young people safe from suicide this summer

If you know of a young person who you believe to be a young carer, we can provide them with support.

A young carer is someone aged 17 or younger who regularly helps look after a parent or guardian. Our support than help young carers manage their caring responsibilities and look after their own every-day needs.

To access our carer support service, please call (01482) 565560, or email the team.

Private fostering can pose a safeguarding issue, so it is important to be able to correctly identify a private fostering arrangement, and the important next steps.

• Email the Front Door
• Email private fostering
• Visit the ERSCP website
• Telephone (01482) 393939

Funded by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside, the #JustDont campaign aims to engage men to encourage a reduction in harassment, abuse and violence against women and girls by challenging the attitudes and actions of others.

We encourage you to consult the full toolkit of advice and resources via the Humber VPP website.

Evidence shows that major sporting events can lead to increased reports of domestic abuse. In the context of the World Cup, please take the time to read this information.

As the summer holidays approach, time spent online by our young people is inevitable.

Now is the ideal time for parents and carers to review their family settings for online devices around the home to ensure that they are fully up to date, with security and safety measures in place. 

To break the cycle of exploitation and abuse, we must target those responsible. By using creative approaches and making the most of the available legislation, we can ensure perpetrators receive appropriate sentences for their crimes while helping prevent them from targeting children and young people in the future.

If you work with children and young adults who are experiencing or at risk of exploitation and abuse, you have a crucial role to play in disrupting their exploitation and stopping the perpetrators who are responsible. 

We have a number of resources and top tips for teens to use to help keep themselves safe.

Teenagers have the right to be safe and happy no matter their age or location. It is important to remind teenagers that they are responsible for their own safety, so the decisions they make are really important.

While they have the freedom of choice, they do not have freedom from consequences.
