Have you been trained in GCP2?

Would you like to hear from colleagues from across the UK, on how they use the tool to support better practice and outcomes for children and families?

Please join our GCP2 (Best) Practice Surgery - 'Top Tips and best practice for using GCP2' - on Wednesday 31st January 2024.

The session will take place on MS Teams, from 9:30am-11:30am

Research shows that neglect is the most common form of child maltreatment, but it is difficult to define and address. 

Neglect is often understood as a parental omission of care rather than an abusive act. These ‘omissions of care’ often happen over time and, because there are many risk factors associated with neglect, it’s challenging to know how best to support families and when to intervene. 

There are a wide range of risk factors for neglect but the single biggest factor is poverty, so in the current economic climate, families are struggling more than ever to meet the needs of their children.

GCP2 can support practitioners to identify where a child’s needs aren’t being met, to ensure the right decisions are made at the right time to encourage positive changes for families.
