Introduction
During the Autumn term, we're running a series of webinars discussing key areas of the new KCSiE guidance and safeguarding practice.
Information sharing to safeguard children and young people - what DSLs need to know: 15th October, 12.15pm - 1pm (Free for members / £10+VAT for non-members)
Insights into affluent neglect: 15th October, 4pm - 5pm (Free for members / £10+VAT for non-members)
DBS Checks - what you need to know: 20th October, 12pm - 1.30pm (Free to all)
Information sharing to safeguard children and young people - what DSLs need to know: 15th October, 12.15pm - 1pm (Free for members / £10+VAT for non-members)
The Government have issued Statutory Guidance coming into force in England on 30th September that radically changes the way we approach information sharing, placing children’s well-being and safety as the primary concern in any information sharing conversation.
The Information Sharing Duty removes many of the perceived barriers to information sharing and has enormous implications for how we work together. The duty is a substantial move away from making judgements about child protection thresholds to a general duty (not judgement) to share information about a child and about others connected to a child to support the statutory duties of other agencies.
This webinar will explore the guidance, examine how we go about sharing information, transparency with families and the limited exemptions from the duty in more detail.
All registrants will be able to view a recording of the session and receive a copy of the slides.

Insights into affluent neglect: 15th October, 4pm - 5pm (Free for members / £10+VAT for non-members)
Affluent neglect can often sit outside the thinking of professionals in respect of harm, not fitting the commonly held stereotypical views that neglect must be associated with poverty. This can mean that harm to the child can be overlooked and subsumed by the professionals into their relationships with the parents. It can be difficult to spot and equally challenging to deal with.
This session will :
give an overview of the context of affluent neglect
discuss key indicators
highlight the challenges faced by professionals in addressing the concerns with parents / carers.
All registrants will be able to view a recording of the session and receive a copy of the slides.

DBS Checks - what you need to know: 20th October, 12pm - 1.30pm (Free to all)
DBS checks are a key component of the Safer Recruitment process and within the guidance there is a clarity around who, when, why those in job roles should have a check undertaken and at what level.
However, there can also be a level of “urban mythology” around levels, sighting of checks and GDPR.
On the 20th of October 2026 (12-1.30) we are pleased to welcome Laura Gaskell (National Outreach Adviser) for DBS to host a webinar which will be useful for colleagues to :
clarify processes
hear about changes
reaffirm what we do, when and why
ask questions
All registrants will be able to view a recording of the session and receive a copy of the slides.
Date and time: 20th October, 12pm - 1.30pm
Price:
FREE for members and non-members
