Aimed at health practitioners working with exploited children and young people to support in your work and help you maximise your impact

The NWG runs online forums for our members to share practice and learning where strategic and frontline practitioners are encouraged to share key developments and practices identified in areas for future focus and discussions.

We learn from national, regional and local developments including research, policy and emerging practice. We try to cover subject matters that attendees at the forum wish to know more about.

We are delighted to announce our new Co-Chair – Kath Armstrong, Exploitation Safeguarding Nurse Children and Adults ICB Wide, North East North Cumbria Integrated Care Board.

If you are a health practitioner working with children and young people who are experiencing exploitation, then this forum, now in its second year, is to support you in your work and help you maximise your impact.
