It is with regret we have to postpone the Health forum on Thursday 17^th July until the 24th September, we apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you and hope  you can make the September date when I look forward to seeing you all again.

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.
