This CPD Accredited training course has been developed using the voices of families with lived experience of exploitation with the aim to embed parents as safeguarding partners within their organisations. They have helped aid the evolution of the workforce in supporting families who are experts by experience of child exploitation, encouraging reflection and change. They will share with you their experiences of services, the court process, the impact of exploitation on them as parents as well as on their child and wider family and how they feel services can develop when thinking about working alongside families.

Training will complement the NWG Parental Support Benchmarking Tool which has been designed to support agencies to examine their current offer to parents affected by exploitation and to think about the next steps to improve engagement with parents as a safeguarding partner. There will also be a discussion on the resources available to you that can support practice and families.

Training will be delivered online by NWG’s Families and Community Lead, Maria, and our Trainer, Sarah, both of whom are passionate about the inclusion and strengthening of parents as key partners in tackling exploitation.
