This is where her passion for working with and supporting vulnerable young people began. In 2008\, and in response to increases in youth violence in Coventry\, she wrote and co-produced with young people “Get My Point” a piece of youth drama which successfully contributed to the reduction in weapon assisted crime. This work saw her presented with a Chief Constable’s Commendation. \nHowever\, it was Nikki became an Offender Manager working with some of the most prolific and complex young offenders that she identified that most\, if not all of children and young people known to the Criminal Justice System\, had a variety of vulnerabilities and unmet need. The recognition of the victim offender overlap resulted in a career change\, moving from policing into the field of substance misuse. \nAs the service manager of a young person’s substance misuse service in Warwickshire\, Nikki developed a number of pathways to improve service provision and support for children who were not actively misusing substances themselves\, but were nonetheless impacted by substance misuse due to having a parent or sibling with a substance dependency. This work was recognised by the Care Quality Commission as being innovative practice which should be replicated nationally. \nNikki went on to work for the Care Quality Commission in 2017 as a Children’s Services Inspector. In this role\, she contributed to and led a number of national reviews\, such as Children Looked After and Safeguarding (CLAS) reviews\, Joint Targeted Area Inspections (JTAI’s) and Local Area Special Educational Needs and Disability Inspections (LA SENDs). She also lent her expertise in the fields of Safeguarding and SEND to develop a number of thematic reviews such as the Control and Restraint in Children’s Home review which is awaiting publication. She remains a bank inspector for the commission. \nIn 2020 Nikki founded and launched Safer Together\, her own training and consultancy enterprise. Safer Together was commissioned in September by Coventry and Warwickshire CCG and Coventry Local Authority Public Health to lead on a Child Exploitation Project on their behalf. Safer Together recognises the challenges associated with navigating the current complexities of the safeguarding landscape and is on hand to support statutory and non-statutory organisations with any aspect of training and consultancy related to child safeguarding and SEND.

SUMMARY:Sacpa/BAISIS - Managing affluent neglect
DESCRIPTION:  \nCourse outline: \nThe phrase “affluent neglect” presents something of a perceived oxymoron. If there is affluence\, how can there also be neglect? Sadly\, affluent neglect is a real issue and concern\, and can be particularly challenging to identify and manage. Parents can resist intervention and support\, and the signs of neglect can often be emotional/mental rather than physical. \nThis training will introduce affluent neglect\, how to identify it and how best to support young people and educate their parents\, as well as provide a case study discussion of managing affluent neglect worldwide. Delegates will then have the opportunity to put questions to our panel. \nTraining topics will include: \n\nWhat is affluent neglect?\nHow to provide support\nCase study review of managing affluent neglect.\n\nLearning outcomes: \n\nDevelop an increased understanding of what affluent neglect is\, and how to spot it\nConsider strategies to provide support\nReview the practical application of identification\, and implementation of strategies for managing affluent neglect through case study review.\n\nAudience: \n\nTrustees\, Governors\, and Leaders with oversight of safeguarding\nColleagues in education\, social care\, youth services\, early help\, charity and third sector organisations with an interest and responsibility for safeguarding\nAnyone looking to further develop their knowledge and understanding in this specific area of safeguarding\n\nVenue: Zoom (online) – Seminar \nCost: \n\nMember Rate: £100\nMember Rate Affiliate Attendee: £150\nNon-member Rate: £200*\n\nBOOK NOW \n*If you would like to become a member and access discounted rates for Sacpa CPD and events\, please click here. \n\nSpeakers:  \nChris Chalcraft\, Deputy Head\, Aiglon\, Switzerland \nChris Chalcraft is Deputy Head responsible for Aiglon’s student life in the form of boarding\, student wellbeing as well as various activities\, expeditions and trips. \nChris relishes the truly international nature of Aiglon and the chance to provide so many opportunities for education out of doors.

When not encouraging students in the mountains\, Chris can be found on his skateboard – his favourite form of transport. \n\nRobin Watts\, Child Protection and Safeguarding consultant\nA former detective with the Metropolitan Police\, Robin specialised as a child abuse investigator and worked as a trainer/instructor/consultant\, training Police and Social Workers how to investigate Child Abuse from initial referral to a conclusion.
