Child Protection Conference
What is it?

A Child Protection Conference is a meeting called when there are reasons to think that a child may have been abused or neglected, and may be at continued risk of harm. It brings together family members, people who know the child and family, and others experienced in working in child protection. It is organised by Children’s Social Care, and usually held in a area office, but is run on behalf of the Leeds Safeguarding Children Board, which represents all the different agencies in Leeds responsible for child protection.

Can children attend?
In appropriate circumstances, yes. If not, before the Conference, every effort will be made to find out your child’s wishes and feelings and the Conference will be told about these by the Social Worker. Your child can also present his or her views in a letter to the Conference.
