Dr Rob Ewin's route to his current role was neither quick nor easy, what started out as a community volunteer role, then turned into a Special Constable role which subsequently led him to undertake a foundation degree in Policing at the University of Cumbria. Soon after, Rob topped up his degree to eventually receive a BSc in Professional Policing, while simultaneously working to become a Police Officer at Cumbria Constabulary. Rob later joined the Criminal Investigation Department where he completed many successful cases, but through this, he continued to study - undertaking a few modules of a Master's degree, but ultimately undertaking a PhD looking at the complex problems facing vulnerable people. It is this balance between academic research and practical experience that has been a longstanding component of Dr Ewin's career and subsequently led him to his current role, T/ Detective Inspector and Head of Learning and Development for the Cumbria Constabulary. Rob now works on complex investigations including murder, rape and human trafficking, while supporting his Constabulary in their professional development - with a focus on facilitating evidence-based practice. But despite how his career has developed, he carries with him the lessons he learned within his first role, the value of difference, diversity, hardship and loss.

Steve Myers is the former Director of Social Sciences at the University of Salford, and a registered Social Worker with a background in child protection and youth justice. He has worked in both statutory and voluntary organisations and has been involved with the training of social workers in Higher Education for the past 25 years. Steve has researched and written about strengths-based and solution focused practice, and has a interest in working with violent behaviour including sexual violence.

In this episode Helen Wilson, Operations Manager at the Association of Child Protection Professionals, talks to Prof Kish Bhatti-Sinclair and Dr Lisa Bunting about their first 7 months as Co-editors, what to expect in the future, and how to get involved with the journal.

Professor Kish Bhatti-Sinclair is Head of Social Work and Social Care at the University of Chichester. She is known for her work on social work, race and racism and is particularly interested in ethnically sensitive research methodologies and theories, such as modern racism, which test discriminatory attitudes and behaviours.

Kish has worked on commissioned evaluation projects which have enabled her to make recommendations directly to child protection agencies and has led on a number of publications which have questioned professional ideologies and beliefs, responses to child abuse within Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic families, cultural racism, anti-Muslim racism and Islamophobia.

Dr Lisa Bunting is a Senior Lecturer in Social Work at Queen’s University, Belfast. Lisa has worked in the field of child welfare and child protection research for the past two decades and has specific interests in the impact of childhood adversity and the development of trauma informed children’s services. She has recently led on the first national prevalence survey of mental health problems and trauma exposure among Northern Ireland youth and, together with colleagues at Queen’s, has conducted a rapid evidence review of system-wide trauma informed care implementation to inform the regional roll-out of the NI Safeguarding Board’s Trauma Informed Initiative. She is currently working on analysis of children’s social care data to identify trends in the relationship between area level deprivation, involvement with child protection social work, and patterns of repeated service use over time.

In today's episode Steve Myers, Trustee of the Association of Child Protection Professionals talks to Detective Sergeant Matthew Garland-Collins about safeguarding children in and on the edge of care.

They discuss:

The vulnerabilities at play for these children, what Matthew and his team are doing to tackle this problem (in particular the No Wrong Door programme he and his team has adopted, and what all child protection professionals ought to know about how to protect children in and on the edge of care.

Matthew Garland-Collins joined North Yorkshire Police in 2003 initially working on the uniform response team until 2006 where he began work with the Criminal Investigation Department and was promoted to Detective Sergeant in 2012. 

In May 2013 he took the role as Intelligence DS and in 2015 began oversight of the police involvement with the No Wrong Door Programme.  

Since September last year he has been the Harm Reduction, Missing from Home and No wrong Door Intelligence Sergeant for North Yorkshire Police, where he spends much of his time working with care homes to reduce the number of children going missing across Yorkshire.

Children in care are statistically more likely to be reported as missing, subsequently becoming influenced or groomed by the wrong people. Which is why Matthew and his team are working to address why this behavior is occurring so that they can reduce the number of young people going missing.

Steve Myers is Director of Social Sciences at the University of Salford. He is a qualified and registered Social Worker with a background in child protection and youth justice. He has worked in both statutory and voluntary organisations and has been involved with the education and training of Social Workers in Higher Education for the past 25 years.

Steve has researched and written about strengths-based and solution focused practice, and has an interest in working with violent behaviour including sexual violence. He is keen to promote interprofessional CPD for child protection professionals and has developed and delivered several programmes to support this.

In today's episode, Wendy Thorogood, Chair of the Association of Child Protection Professionals, talks to  Dr Sarah Steele about Fabricated and Induced Illness and the professional dilemmas that come along with it.

It is widely recognized and acknowledged across the health, police and social care economies that Fabricated and Induced Illness by Carers (FII) is one of the most challenging areas of Child Protection in which to work. Practitioners have to make extremely exacting professional judgements and can experience various levels of stress when addressing the multiplicity of complex issues inherent in such cases.

There is no universally agreed definition of FII, and there is no unique profile in the context of those who perpetrate this form of child abuse. Hobbs et al refer to FII as ‘a deceptive, secretive and interactional liaison which has at its centre the child, the doctor or other professional and the perpetrator…..’. It is imperative therefore that all professionals recognize this risk from the very start of the case as a first step towards, not only better protecting the child victims, but, also in beginning to protect the professionals themselves from being negatively impacted by the inherent divisiveness of such cases as well as from potentially being entrapped in the abusive cycle.

Having a heightened professional awareness of the intrinsic risks in FII cases can be a first step in helping to prevent or contemporaneously address any conflicts and issues as they arise on the front line.

Dr Sarah Steele is an Independent Child Safeguarding Consultant and formerly Head of Safeguarding and Consultant Nurse at a large university hospital NHS foundation Trust and active member of two LSCBs. She has over fifteen years experience as a practitioner, manager, teacher and strategic leader specialising in child protection in both community and acute settings.

Sarah is currently director of Patronus Child Protection Consultancy which provides specialist advisory services including expert advice, guidance and support on a range of aspects of child protection and safeguarding to national and regional organisations including health, police and social care professionals, charities and LSCBs/Safeguarding Partnerships amongst others both in the UK and beyond.

She has undertaken numerous Serious Case Reviews, Appreciative Inquiries, Internal Management Reviews, Child Death and other Reviews. She has led on Culture and Practice Change Initiatives in relation to closer working with adult safeguarding teams and for many years has promoted the concept of triangulation of information and working practices in the context of the children of vulnerable adult patients who are parents/carers to inform and support contextual safeguarding.

Sarah has a particular interest in and significant experience of managing the full range of Fabricated and Induced Illness (FII) spectrum cases in multi-agency and acute hospital settings. She contributed to the DCSF 2008 national guidance document ‘Safeguarding Children in whom illness is fabricated or induced’, as well as co-developing a local standard operating procedure (SOP) with a senior police colleague in 2015 to facilitate and support enhanced collaborative multi-agency working across such complex cases.

She has developed and supported the implementation of comprehensive and wide-ranging programmes of child protection training for all levels of multi-agency staff including FII training and presentations.

Most recently she has reviewed and commented on the draft new RCPCH FII guidance document which is due for publication in the near future and has contributed to the iHV 2020 FII good practice points (GPP) programme.

Wendy Thorogood is a retired Designated Nurse Consultant for children. She trained at St Guy's hospital in London, specialising in child and adult nursing, intensive care and cardiac and renal transplants.

Wendy delivered the national leadership programme for safeguarding for the Department of Health and worked directly with the NHS Confederation in relation to current changes; providing assurance that current and future providers of services are compliant in relation to safeguarding national and local standards;working with Lead Commissioners and the performance team to develop agreed key performance indicators and safety metrics for providers; identifying and taking appropriate action on key risks and issues across commissioned services that may affect safeguarding of children, young people.

This episode is a Special Episode. In these special episodes, we take a more focused look at a singular issue that professionals working with children and families need to know about. These are often specific and urgent – so we’ll be talking with a professional at the forefront of the issue.

In today's episode, Wendy Thorogood, Chair of the Association of Child Protection Professionals, talks to Yasemin Wigglesworth, CEO of AEGIS about their work in providing accreditation for guardianship organisations providing services to international students aged 18 and under and studying in the UK.

AEGIS was founded in 1994 by a group of established guardianship organisations and UK boarding schools in response to the lack of regulations around care of international students, aged 18 and under, studying in the UK. 

Currently, no existing legislation requires registration or accreditation of guardians looking after international students during school holidays in the UK or if short term care is needed out of school. 

This is why AEGIS works, firstly, to ensure that guardianship organisations meet the standards of current safeguarding and child protection legislation; and secondly, to ensure that the highest standards are maintained by guardianship organisations in respect of the pastoral, social, cultural and educational welfare of international students.

The core work of AEGIS is the accreditation of guardianship organisations through a rigorous programme of inspections. AEGIS also shares best practice in guardianship with schools and agents. Offering support, guidance and preparation to guardianship organisations seeking accreditation. While also offering support, guidance and up-to-date information to schools, guardians, parents, agents and the education sector.

Wendy Thorogood is a retired Designated Nurse Consultant for children. She trained at St Guy's hospital in London, specialising in child and adult nursing, intensive care and cardiac and renal transplants.

Wendy delivered the national leadership programme for safeguarding for the Department of Health and worked directly with the NHS Confederation in relation to current changes; providing assurance that current and future providers of services are compliant in relation to safeguarding national and local standards;working with Lead Commissioners and the performance team to develop agreed key performance indicators and safety metrics for providers; identifying and taking appropriate action on key risks and issues across commissioned services that may affect safeguarding of children, young people.

Warren spent 5 years as Clinical Network Director, responsible for Children and Families Services across Lancashire, where he was responsible for the quality and safety of care and for research and innovation. It is this experience that led to his passion for public health and prevention work.

More recently, Warren is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and a Visiting Professor at Sunderland University where he works with the Faculty of Health Sciences and Wellbeing to develop their research programme and training curricula.

He has a long-standing interest in the relationships between childhood adversity and outcomes later in life and has published numerous research on the topic of adverse childhood experiences, trauma and psychosis including articles and a published book in 2006 exploring this theme.

More recently, Warren developed the Routine Enquiry about Adversity in Childhood (REACh) approach as a way of assisting organisations to become more trauma-informed and to train professionals to ask routinely about adversity in their everyday practice. And is now leading the Resilience Taskforce which is calling on the government to take seriously the mental health implications of the COVID19 pandemic and the subsequent long term effects of those who have experienced trauma during this period.
