Webinar: learning from the Sara Sharif Review
Red Snapper Learning (RSL) is holding a webinar on this key safeguarding review case on December 12. You can book your place through the link at the bottom of the article.
This webinar offers a sensitive, multi-agency exploration of the key learning emerging from the Sara Sharif Local Child Safeguarding Practice Review. Facilitated by a specialist in cultural competence, intersectional safeguarding and challenging systemic inequity, the session provides a reflective space for practitioners to examine what happened and what it means for future practice.
Key themes include:
· Professional curiosity and critical questioning
· Disguised compliance and patterns of avoidance
· Information-sharing gaps and systemic missed opportunities
· Cultural, linguistic and gender dynamics shaping engagement
· Bias, racism and structural barriers experienced by racially minoritised and migrant families
The webinar is designed to strengthen culturally competent, curiosity-driven safeguarding practice and keep the child’s lived experience at the centre.
