Neglect Champions

Neglect is one of the strategic priorities across our Safeguarding Partnership and within Cumberland Children’s Services. We are therefore having a relentless focus on practice improvement in this area to ensure that children and young people in Cumberland that experience neglect are provided with timely and effective support. 

What does being a neglect champion entail?

• You will attend quarterly in person neglect champion meetings where we will share good practice, research and resources relating to neglect and will plan on how this will be shared and included into training across the partnership.
• You will be part of delivering neglect training or workshops either within your own organisation or wider partnership (dependant on what you feel comfortable with to promote best practice.
• You will share good practice examples relating to neglect with the practice champions group.
• You will champion best practice regarding neglect within your organisation and wider partnership.
