Voluntary Sector Assembly - Safeguarding Manchester's children

The issues surrounding the health, welfare and safeguarding of Manchester's children are never far from the headlines. We all have responsibility for ensuring children are safe, and to know what help and support is available. 

Nicola Bailey, Manchester City Council, will be presenting an update on Manchester's safeguarding and early years help. Also, there will be a choice of three interesting and practical workshops which will discuss the issues for children and social media, how voluntary sector organisations can deal with allegations against staff, and community cohesion. Finally, there will be a 'Future of Safeguarding' panel discussion.
