We're aware some people taking part in racist protests targeting asylum seekers, refugees & migrants also claim to be working with us: this is false and we are appalled at the use of our name to promote something so completely at odds with our values. buff.ly/coxyenv

In partnership with @researchIP, we're bringing together leaders in Children's Services to discuss effective multi-agency partnerships to support children at risk of becoming involved in violence. Bringing together system leaders and decision-makers across statutory and third sector organisations who work with children at risk of violence involvement, this conference will consider a wide range of evidence and innovative practice on effective multi-agency working. We will also offer considerations on effective multi-agency practice for Black, Asian and ethnic minoritised groups, as well as effective multi-agency working when things don’t go well, the impact on staff, and how best to support them.
