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 the Social Services Department, and usually held in a Social
Services office, but is run on behalf of the Area Child Protection Committee,
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.
