Child protection conferences are held for children when they are at risk of or have experienced significant harm. The child protection conference is a meeting that takes place with parents, the child (if they want to attend) the social worker and partner agencies that are working with the family or who have knowledge of the family such as health visitors, midwives, schools, drug workers, mental health workers, and probation officers. During the child protection conference, we will talk openly about worries and the impact of this upon the child. We would explore safety and the family support network and want to work with families to help them reduce risks and ensure that children's needs are met, and that they are safe.
