Through national updates, practical case studies and extended interactive group work the conference will cover self-neglect, meeting the statutory safeguarding guidance, safeguarding people who self-neglect: the evidence and what works, developing guidance for professionals when dealing with self-neglect and resistance to engage with services, an extended session on hoarding, and an extended session on dealing with the underlying causes of self-neglect working in partnership with people who are self-neglecting in a multi disciplinary way.

Safeguarding Children from County Lines Exploitation

WEDNESDAY 17th SEPTEMBER 2025

VIRTUAL, Online

The issues surrounding county lines exploitation remain high on the Government agenda, with The Crime and Policing Bill looks set to introduce new laws which will help to tackle the problem. The proposals would make it a criminal offence to use a child to commit criminal activity, as well as the introduction of new child criminal exploitation prevention orders.

Join us for an essential one-day conference dedicated to Safeguarding Children from County Lines Exploitation, designed for professionals working on the frontline of child protection. As County Lines operations continue to evolve and target vulnerable children, it's more important than ever to equip staff with the knowledge, tools, and strategies needed to combat this growing threat. Through a combination of expert-led presentations and real-life case studies, this conference will empower safeguarding professionals to identify risk factors, intervene early, and work collaboratively to prevent child exploitation.
