LSAP webinars
In 2021, with the change to holding virtual meetings, and the pressure on all participants' time being recognised, we developed a series of webinars which have in part replaced 'guest speakers' who no longer have to travel around the county to attend all five meetings.
This means we also have more time in the partnership meetings to look at the local needs and issues associated with the wider county safeguarding themes.
The topics have been chosen in discussion with the LSAPs, their chairs, and the NSAB business group. The speakers try to reflect how the topic relates to the local needs in the county wherever possible, and consider the multi-agency audience of the LSAPs.
The program can flex depending on availability and any other linked needs; the plan for 2022 has started in in the table below.
As virtual meetings, we can also open these up to those who are not (yet!) members of their local LSAP, or colleagues of those who do attend. These webinars can also be used as part of any Continuing Professional Development (CPD) required in your role.
This year we hope to record some of the events (with the presenter's permission, of course) and put them on our YouTube channel for those who miss the live session.

Trauma and curiosity: seeing past the obvious 22 April 2022
A joint virtual Local Safeguarding Children Group (LSCG) and LSAP event taking place on Friday 22 April from 9.30-11am, this multi-agency workshop will consider and explore professional curiosity when safeguarding adults and children using a trauma informed lens.
The session will explore two areas of safeguarding (relevant to both adults and children) where professional curiosity is a recognised complex issue. Participants will have the opportunity to share good practice with, and learn from, colleagues across different sectors and disciplines (please note that this is only open to LSAP members).
Dealing with distressing calls 10 Mar 2022
We were joined by Helen 7 from Norwich Samaritans, outreach, who gave an informative overview of the work of the Samaritans and, in particular, how they cope with distressing calls whilst sharing some tips on good listening practice.
Almost 100 people from a range of organisations attended this hour long event.
Cuckooing webinar 26 Oct 2021
Detective Chief Inspector Sonia Humphreys provided an illuminating insight into cuckooing at her October webinar for NSAB.
She explained how cuckooing exploits and creates vulnerabilities, what to look out for and how the multi-agency approach supported by the Vulnerable Adult Risk Assessment Conference (VARAC) can help partners to address this violent risk.
Around 100 colleagues from many different organisations joined us for the webinar.
Sonia's slides are available below
Exploitation webinar 22 Sept 2021
Mark English is the Modern Slavery and Organised Crime Group co-ordinator for Norfolk and Suffolk Constabularies.
He gave us a very insightful presentation on the many forms of exploitation, using a wide range of examples from his work to bring these to life, and really helping us to understand what this might look like in Norfolk. There was a clear emphasis on prevention, partnership working, and a victim focus that resonates with Making Safeguarding Personal.
We had over 90 people attend this virtual event - it was great to see so many people interested in learning more about exploitation, and taking this knowledge back to their day to day practice and communities.
The slides from Mark's presentation are below.
