Recommendation 12
12
Develop comprehensive strategy for children at risk of extra-familial harm, including professional training.
Conclusion
The Department for Education must put in place a strategy for supporting children and young people at risk of extra-familial harm. This should include: better training for professionals to spot and respond to extra- familial risks; ensuring that young people and their families know where to go to access support; and improving approaches to ensuring that families can stay together as much as possible, for example by supporting them to move home when needed. (Recommendation, Paragraph 28)
