Family Caregivers Presentation

Carer’s Federation teamed up with the Safeguarding Business Unit to deliver a session on family caregivers and safeguarding, highlighting the risks and protective factors within caregiving relationships. Practitioners considered the challenges caregivers face, and how these often intersect with safeguarding issues, aligning with the GSAB’s strategic priorities of preventing harm and strengthening safeguarding, as well as the GSCP’s strategic priorities of strengthening child protection practice (including identifying and responding to neglect), and improving the mental health of children and young people who may be at greater risk of harm.
