A CELCIS Emerging Insights Series:

Hidden in Plain Sight - Solutions to Protecting Teenagers from Exploitation and Harm

Join us for the latest webinar in our CELCIS Emerging Insights Series. This webinar is one of a new series of free, live, online webinars where we will hear and share insight, evidence and perspectives about the current critical issues, risks, challenges and learning in child protection.

When: Tuesday 23 May, 9.30-11am

Where: Online - Microsoft Teams

Attendees will hear from Anne Longfield CBE, Chair of the Commission on Young Lives, which reported in England last November with a national action plan and recommendations to support vulnerable teenagers to succeed and to protect them from adversity, exploitation and harm. The webinar will look at what the Commission's findings mean for child protection now by putting a spotlight on:

• What we know about the exploitation of teenagers in the UK today
• The findings from the work of the Commission on Young Lives
• The possible solutions to protecting young people from such harm which is hidden in plain sight

About the Commission

Chaired by Anne Longfield CBE, the former Children’s Commissioner for England, and hosted and supported by the Oasis Charitable Trust, the Commission has been working with a panel of commissioners, young people and other experts who have a lived experience of exclusion, gangs, and serious violence, to provide practical and affordable ideas that local communities – backed by government, councils, the police, and social services – that can be put in place.
