In case you missed it…

Last week, the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel published their 2023-2024 Annual Report regarding serious child safeguarding incidents.

Their reports are always a useful resource that we use to continually improve how we commission and learn from our reviews.

We sat down with Miranda Wilkinson (Child Protection Team, Birmingham Children’s Trust) to discuss her role as a Principal Officer, how she and her colleagues support children and families, and why her own background has shaped why safeguarding is so important to her.
