GET SAFE is a new multi-agency response that aims to protect Herefordshire children from child exploitation and contextual safeguarding concerns where children are risk of being exploited.
To update partners on the new initiative, the Herefordshire Safeguarding Children Partnership is hosting a free, in-person Contextual Safeguarding conference on Tuesday 30 January 2024, from 9am to 5pm at Hereford Racecourse in The Rusty Bridge suite.

GET SAFE stands for:

The conference is free and professionals, practitioners and volunteers are all welcome to attend to hear how we can all work together to strengthen Herefordshire’s response to child exploitation and other contextual safeguarding concerns.
