Southwark PLT - Child Safeguarding Update Level 3

Our Safeguarding Level 3 update will focus on the opportunities we have to support and safeguard our adolescent patients. Sessions will include update on referral pathways, services available alongside how to establish thresholds for referral. We will have presentations from Adolescent Surestart, Red Thread, our local youth work team based in King’s College Hospital A&E, from Adolescent clinic lead on the ‘The Adolescent Consultation’ and SHIP, a local sexual health service. We will explore early interventions and key risk factors. The team will also share the newly launched Southwark Safeguarding Children Partnership Neglect Strategy and Toolkit. Primary care is a key safeguarding partner in the multi-agency- safeguarding is everyone’s business.
