Safeguarding Children

I've written about the Centre for Excellence and Outcomes in Children and Young People's Services (C4EO) site on here a few times before; for those who aren't familiar with this organisation, they carry out evidence-based research with a view to identifying effective practice in delivering children's services. Currently they are doing a number of studies on different themes, and the latest set of briefings, on the subject of Safeguarding Children, have just been published. Click on the links below to view the various reports:

• Effective Interventions for Complex Families Where There are Concerns About, or Evidence of, a Child Suffering Significant Harm
• What are the Key Questions for Audit of Child Protection Systems and Decision-Making?
• The Oversight and Review of Cases in the Light of Changing Circumstances and New Information: how do People Respond to New (and Challenging) Information?

Previous reports from C4EO have focused on Children's Services, Disabled Children and Vulnerable Children. Studies on Child Poverty, Schools and Communities, Youth, Families, Parents and Carers and Narrowing the Gap are still in progress, and details of each will be included on the blog when they are published.
