About this webinar
Professionals working with children and families play a key role in protecting and supporting them when there are concerns about child sexual abuse.
One way to build professional confidence in responding to concerns is by encouraging conversations around the latest research and evidence. Managers and supervisors can actively support this by making time for regular discussions, reflecting on and sharing practice experiences and insights from victims and survivors in supervision and team meetings.
In this 90-minute webinar, supervisors and managers can find out how to start discussions about child sexual abuse within their teams in a supportive space, reflect on the experiences of children and families they are working with, explore their team’s and their own welfare, and consider how the evidence might inform and develop their practice.
There will be opportunity for questions in the latter part of the session and participants will be encouraged to think about how they can use the Using supervision and team meetings guide to improve the identification and response to child sexual abuse in their service area.
