The Parental Mental Health and Child Welfare Network voted improving safeguarding practice as its top priority.
This study day is designed to look at findings from studies of child death reviews and the persistent problems of interagency communication. It will focus specifically on mental health problems of parents exacerbated by separation through hospitalisation, imprisonment and migration and how services need to respond to these issues.
