Free webinar: Safeguarding Children Who Go Missing: Risk, Harm and Empathy

Dates: Tuesday, 18 June 2024

This webinar is about children who go missing, the harm they experience while they are missing, and how we care for them when they return. Those who harm and exploit children rely on us not taking missing episodes seriously enough and not forming the kinds of trusted relationships with children that can disrupt patterns of abuse. If you work with children and want to stop them going missing and being at risk of harm, this webinar is for you.
