Lunchtime Webinar: Social Work Age Estimation Framework (SAEF)

Lunchtime Webinar: Social Work Age Estimation Framework (SAEF)

Join us for a one‑hour introduction to the Social Work Age Estimation Framework (SAEF) — the new framework for ethical, practitioner‑led age assessments in the UK.

This session will explore how SAEF strengthens safeguarding and supports clear, evidence‑based decision making, grounded in trauma‑informed and anti‑discriminatory practice. We’ll walk through the purpose, principles and structure of the framework, and outline the forthcoming training offer designed to equip and support practitioners and organisations with the skills and confidence to implement SAEF well.

This webinar will be particularly useful for social work staff, lawyers and colleagues from charities and non‑government organisations who are involved in, or interested in, age assessment practice.

Whether you're new to age assessment or preparing your service for adoption, this session offers a concise, accessible overview of what SAEF is, why it matters and how it enables consistent, defensible professional judgement.
