About this Event
Lin Sands (NWG Police & Justice Lead) will be facilitating the forums
The forum runs on a quarterly basis, is chaired independently of the NWG Network and provides a variety of speakers within the field of Police and Justice.
The focus of each session will be to consider current challenges, themes and trends in respect of Child Exploitation; they will enable members to discuss specific issues and challenges within a safe and neutral space whilst also providing a platform for local, regional, national and international networking opportunities.
We would ask that if you have one particular theme for the forum discussion, you email Lin ([email protected])
This quarter's theme is to be announced
This forum is part of a series that will aim to focus on;
1. How practitioners can successfully engage with exploited children & how building networks with community organisations will enable this to happen.
2. How can we interrupt the exploitation of children: grooming, disruption and manageable safety plans?
3. How we can build the confidence of managers and/or practitioners to undertake an ‘evidence-led’ child exploitation enquiry.
The aim of this Forum is to;
· Consider how the development of community pathways can ensure that 'the voices of vulnerable victims and witnesses are heard within Child Exploitation investigations
· Recognise how wider engagement with organisations/individuals can contribute to tackling Child Exploitation & make children safe
· Reflect upon how building confidence with groups affected by structural inequalities, may improve their understanding of the Police and increase the likelihood of them reporting exploitation at earlier stages
