Unborn Babies and Under 1's
Safeguarding Unborn Babies and Under 1s Presentations
In March 2024 we held a BSW Virtual Summit on Safeguarding Unborn Babies and Under 1s. The day explored, through a range of workshops and keynote speakers, how we can further develop and improve practice within our systems to support and engage parents and families to prevent harm and was attended by over 500 practitioners, commissioners, managers across the day.
Aims of the day were to:
- Develop professional curiosity when working with families and parents.
- Improve practice in hearing the voice of the child and unborn babies and understanding their lived experience.
- Improve understanding of the importance of early attachment interaction.
- Improve how we work with and engage fathers.
- Understand the causational risk of traumatic head injury and a system approach to early intervention.
- Promote safer sleep.
Presentations from these sessions are available to view on the SVPP website
