For many young people, safeguarding needs continue well beyond their eighteenth birthday - yet gaps between children’s and adult’s safeguarding services often mean that they do not receive the care and support they require as they enter adulthood.

Attend Westminster Insight’s Transitional Safeguarding Workshop for the latest guidance, research, case studies and practical insights from our expert speakers on how to improve outcomes for young people at risk as they enter adulthood.

You will hear from the Innovate Project, and Research in Practice, who are carrying out innovative research in the area of transitional safeguarding services. The workshop will be led by Steve Baguley, NWG Network, who was part of a small multi-agency project group that developed the Transitional Safeguarding Briefing – Bridging the Gap published in June 2021. You will hear from practitioners in areas that have implemented a transitional safeguarding approach.

Multi-agency approaches and collaborative working are crucial to ensure success. Participate in an interactive ‘Ask the Experts’ session, gain insight into how to develop a truly collaborative approach to safeguarding that bridges the gap between children’s and adult’s safeguarding services.
