As part of our ongoing commitment to reviewing the Working Together to Safeguard Children guidance, we’ll soon be inviting parents, carers and professionals to take part in discussions ahead of an update to the guidance, planned for 2026.
This update will aim to strengthen how we protect all children, including learning from serious safeguarding cases, tackling discrimination in safeguarding practices, improving responses to child sexual abuse and domestic abuse and supporting children who are looked after.
We’ll be hosting two events for parents and carers where you can share your views and help shape the future of safeguarding. These sessions are open to everyone involved in supporting children – whether you’re a birth parent, adoptive parent, foster carer, kinship carer, special guardian, or anyone else caring for a child.
Your voice matters, and we welcome a wide range of perspectives.

Another event is taking place online on 9th December 16:00 – 17:00 – book here
