Spotlight Sessions
The WSCP safeguarding Spotlight Sessions are part of our training and learning offer to professionals.
Spotlight Sessions are short single topic safeguarding briefings delivered virtually via Microsoft Teams, delivered on different topics throughout the year. Please note, these are short briefing sessions not training, therefore attendance certificates will not be provided.
Life Long Links
Children and young people in care often experience disruption to important relationships and connections throughout their lives. Life Long Links is an evidence-based approach that enables children and young people to identify, reconnect and build a lasting support network of family members and other trusted adults who can be there for them into adulthood.
We are inviting partners across Wirral to join us for an awareness-raising session to learn more about Life Long Links, the positive impact it has on children and young people, and how agencies can work together to support lifelong relationships.
This session will explore:
- What Life Long Links is and why it matters
- The benefits for children in care and care leavers
- The role of partners in identifying and strengthening networks
- How positive relationships improve long-term outcomes
Together, we can help ensure that every young person has people who are there for them, not just whilst services are involved, but for life.
