Introduction to Neglect

The spotlight on preventing child neglect; which is an overview of learning from NSPCC services and research which was written in 2015 states, that there are more children suffering abuse or neglect than those who are known to children’s social services – we estimate that for every child subject to a child protection plan or register, another eight children have suffered maltreatment.

This course is for anyone who wants to understand the impact of neglect on the wellbeing and long term outcomes for children and young people. It will provide supporting information on multiple incidents of neglect and how this impacts children and young people when they go into adulthood.

You will also be introduced to the Leicester Leicestershire & Rutland LSCB Neglect Toolkit.

The learning outcomes are:

• To recognise signs and symptoms of children and young people who are, or may be, neglected.
• Be able to identify concerns about parenting capacity that may contribute to neglect.
• Identify family and environmental factors which may contribute to neglect.
• Have an understanding of the importance of looking beyond single incidents (cumulative harm).

This course is being delivered as a webinar using Microsoft Teams - once you have booked you will be sent an invitation to confirm your place and a joining link. It is recommended that you join at least 5 - 10 minutes before the training starts to test everything is working.
