It will help professionals recognise the unique challenges, including how women are often blamed for not seeking refuge when social workers want them to, the complex relationships victims have with perpetrators and what would help keep them safe in the child protection process. Attend this session to: • Understand the challenges of working with complex relationships within the child protection process • Gain insight into how conditioning and fear impact the options mothers have when faced with these challenges • Learn how to improve your practice in working with this group Following this session, at around 12.30, Jenny will be signing copies of her book next to the Community Care stand.
