Case of creating a new child protection conference
This case study is about how a new child protection conference process led to a safeguarding plan that was better at targeting the exploitation experienced by a young person. The police raised significant safeguarding concerns about child criminal exploitation for a young person called 'Jack' (aged 14), and his siblings. Jack had been very seriously injured because of his links to a group thought to be involved in serious violence. While Jack was in hospital, the family were moved to an emergency temporary home. Jack's workers realised that he needed a child protection plan that could target the harm he was facing within his community.
In this case study you'll find examples of responses, challenges, and what was learnt by the site piloting a new child protection conference targeting extra-familial harm
