This practice-focused resource delves into how social workers, youth justice workers and Independent Reviewing Officers can play a positive safeguarding role in the lives of the children in custody they are responsible for.

You'll hear from Wendy Tomlinson, former Head of Safeguarding at the Youth Custody Service, social worker and service manager

You will gain a deeper understanding of the types of harm a child in custody might come to, how you can determine if they have come to harm, and how to ensure that any concerns you have are addressed appropriately.

This video and audio is a recording of a conversation between Wendy Tomlinson and CareKnowledge's Sarah Leon, recorded in July 2024.
