Nurturing Futures: Ensuring Child Wellbeing and Safety

On-demand recorded 28 Nov 2024

As a General Practitioner, you play a critical role in shaping the future of children's health and development. This engaging webinar will equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to foster holistic child wellbeing, ensuring every child in your care has the chance to thrive.
 
What You’ll Learn:

  • Key components of child wellbeing—from physical and emotional health to social development.
  • How to identify early signs of distress and developmental concerns in children.
  • The essential role of GPs in creating safe, supportive environments for children.
  • Effective communication strategies to better connect with children and their families.
  • A comprehensive introduction to the Child Information Sharing Scheme (CISS), empowering you to securely share and request information that protects child safety and promotes wellbeing.
 
Why This Webinar Matters: Child wellbeing isn't just about treating illness—it's about cultivating a healthy, balanced life. By understanding the full spectrum of child wellbeing, you can enhance your ability to provide comprehensive care, identify early signs of concern, and work collaboratively with families and other professionals to ensure the best outcomes for children.
