Summary: A London borough has asked a charity to train volunteers to help families going through review child protection conferences
To divert children from care, the London Borough of Lewisham is working with the volunteering charity CSV to train volunteers to support parents during review child protection conferences.
The idea came from the local authority, which asked CSV to devlop the volunteer programme following the success of the charity's Volunteers in Child Protection service. Whereas volunteers on the earlier programme work in homes to help families come off and stay off child protection plans, Lewisham wanted families to have access to support when attending review child protection conferences.
