About this Webinar

While the holiday season is a time of joy for many, it can also bring immense pressure, stress and hardship for children and their families. All professionals that work with children face the challenge of identifying potential concerns and safeguarding those most in need during the holidays when support services may not be readily available.

Join us for this on-demand webinar with safeguarding expert Jon Trew where we explore how to provide practical safeguarding support throughout the holidays and cover the potential risks to look out for throughout the festive season.

Key Takeaways

Spotting the effects of domestic violence: Financial pressures, alcohol misuse and emotional strains can heighten the risk of domestic violence incidents. Gain insights into spotting warning signs and ensuring children’s safety over the holidays.
Addressing malnutrition and eating disorders: The holidays can be a challenging time for children and young people with eating disorders, while families may struggle to provide enough food at home. Learn how to support vulnerable children and look out for potential signs of neglect.
Safeguarding children’s mental health: While the holiday season is expected to be a happy time for families, it can be difficult and upsetting for those affected by bereavement, incarceration or other issues. Get advice to support children who may be at their most vulnerable during this period.

Don't miss this chance for all safeguarding leads, teachers, school administrators, and professionals working with children to enhance your approach to safeguarding throughout the holiday season.
