WHAT IS A CHILD PROTECTION CONFERENCE?

A child protection conference is a meeting arranged to discuss the concerns that professionals have about your child, and to decide what is to happen next?

This is done by:

• Sharing information from the people who work with your family, and thinking about what that means for the safety of your child.

• Making decisions about the risks to your child and how those risks can be reduced.

• Deciding whether your child is in need of a Child Protection Plan.

• Agreeing a Child Protection Plan in order to keep your child safe.
