Explore the findings from the CSCP Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) audit, including key learning, practice recommendations and resources to strengthen multi-agency safeguarding. Learning from Audits Theme: Child Sexual Abuse Recognising the Signs Beyond Disclosure Child sexual abuse can have a devastating impact on children, families and communities. This page provides guidance, resources and learning opportunities to help professionals recognise signs of abuse, respond appropriately, and support children through a trauma-informed, child-centred approach. Key Learning Themes 1 Identification & Disclosure Disclosure is uncommon. Children often disclose gradually, partially, retract disclosures or never disclose at all. Recognise indicators. Self-harm, emotional distress, behavioural change, poor attendance and family instability should all prompt professional curiosity. Ask difficult questions. Practitioners should feel confident discussing sexual abuse when concerns arise rather than waiting for evidence to emerge. 2 Multi-Agency Working Information sharing remains inconsistent . Agencies did not always share information or attend key safeguarding meetings. Cross-borough working creates additional risk. Children educated or supported outside Croydon require particularly robust communication between agencies. Good recording matters. Clear chronologies help practitioners understand cumulative risk and support effective decision-making. 3 Child's Voice & Lived Experience Listen beyond the disclosure. Children's experiences should shape assessments, plans and interventions. Understand daily life . School attendance, relationships, emotional wellbeing and family circumstances all contribute to understanding risk. The child's voice should influence decisions, not simply be recorded. 4 Culture, Diversity & Professional Curiosity Explore cultural influences sensitively. Stigma, family expectations and community pressures may affect disclosure and engagement. Remain professionally curious. Avoid assumptions or over-reliance on parental accounts. Consider the whole context before reaching safeguarding decisions. 5 Risk Assessment & Access to Support Risk assessments were inconsisten t, even where significant indicators of harm existed. Children should not lose support because criminal thresholds are not met. Know local pathways . Delays accessing specialist services increase safeguarding risk and require active oversight. How agencies can improve practice To address the audit findings, agencies must adopt a proactive, trauma-informed approach. The following suggestions are structured around the three pillars of improvement: Foundation, Action , and Impact , which outline key areas for local practice improvement. Pillar 1: Earlier Identification Recognise vulnerability Look beyond disclosure. Recognise cumulative indicators of abuse. Strengthen professional curiosity through supervision. Improve confidence Build practitioner confidence to discuss Child Sexual Abuse directly. Make effective use of CSA training and learning opportunities. Pillar 2: Strengthen Partnership Working Improve information sharing Ensure all relevant agencies contribute to safeguarding discussions. Develop accurate chronologies. Strengthen cross-borough communication. Consistent decision-making Use structured risk assessment. Clearly record rationale for decisions. Maintain oversight when cases step down. Pillar 3: Keep the Child at the Centre Hear the child's lived experience Ensure children's views influence planning. Consider emotional wellbeing alongside physical safety. Explore culture, identity and family context. Maintain support Continue safeguarding activity even where disclosures are withdrawn or police investigations do not progress. Monitor children waiting for specialist support.

Explore Trauma Informed Croydon videos and resources to understand trauma, inform everyday practice and build safer, more compassionate services and communities. Trauma Informed Croydon Being trauma informed means recognising that difficult or overwhelming experiences can affect how people feel, relate to others and respond to everyday situations. It means approaching people with curiosity and compassion, and considering what they may need to feel safe, respected and supported. In practice, this should shape how we communicate, build relationships and design services. We can explain what will happen next, offer meaningful choices, listen without judgement and involve people in decisions that affect them. It also means reflecting on policies and environments that could unintentionally cause distress, and making changes to reduce the risk of further harm.

Learn from safeguarding case reviews where young people died by suicide. Explore risk factors, warning signs, and prevention strategies to protect vulnerable adolescents. Seeing the Whole Child: Learning from practice The CSCP has drawn critical learning from a series of Case of Concern reviews, an innovative process developed to examine complex cases that fall below the statutory review threshold but still offer significant opportunities for system-wide improvement. The cases of Cassie, Carlos, and Camille reveal key learning about the importance of centering the child’s voice, applying professional curiosity, and strengthening multi-agency coordination. This thematic study highlights cross-cutting issues and promotes reflective supervision, encouraging practitioners to embed these insights into everyday safeguarding practice. Each case offers a distinct lens into the risks and responsibilities of multi-agency work. Together, they form a critical thematic learning opportunity. Cross-Cutting Reflections: Strengthening Systems by Centring the Child A review of the Cassie, Carlos, and Camille cases identifies consistent patterns that expose systemic vulnerabilities. These are not isolated failings but indicators of broader practice challenges requiring collective ownership and deliberate change. 1. Centring the Child’s Voice Is Not Optional Across all cases, the child's perspective was either diminished, misinterpreted, or deprioritised in favour of procedural, legal, or operational constraints. A child-centred approach must go beyond statutory compliance, it requires: Actively seeking the child's voice, especially during transitions or crisis points Understanding behaviour as communication, particularly where verbal expression is limited or trust is fractured Embedding mechanisms for children to participate in planning decisions, and not just be recipients of them 2. Professional Curiosity Requires Depth, Not Just Compliance Curiosity is not simply asking more questions, it is about asking the right questions and being open to answers that challenge professional assumptions. These cases demonstrate that: Risk is often hidden behind procedural conformity; a plan being in place does not mean it is effective Biases—such as adultification and criminalisation, undermine safeguarding by reframing vulnerability as culpability Curiosity must extend to peers and other professionals, checking assumptions across the network, not just within individual assessments 3. Escalation and Decision-Making Must Be Process-Led, Not Person-Dependent Inconsistent escalation routes, reliance on informal relationships, and lack of clarity in roles contributed to drift and risk exposure in each case. Improvements are needed in: Clarifying escalation protocols and thresholds across agencies, particularly for non-statutory but high-risk cases Ensuring decision-making processes are transparent, auditable, and collaborative Using formal structures (e.g. case of concern process, strategy meetings) to generate system-wide solutions, not just single-agency actions 4. Placement Sufficiency and Suitability Must Be Understood as a Safeguarding Issue The shortage of regulated placements and delays in mental health access are not logistical issues alone, they are safeguarding concerns that have direct consequences for children's safety and wellbeing. Professionals must: Continue to escalate placement barriers through appropriate strategic channels Advocate persistently for placements that meet therapeutic and relational needs, not just beds that are available Monitor the impact of unsuitable arrangements as active risk, not just as temporary compromises Cassie: System Drift, Missed Protocols and Emotional Safety Cassie, a vulnerable child with mental health needs, remained in A&E for over two weeks due to the absence of a coordinated discharge and placement plan. Despite the existence of inter-agency protocols, their inconsistent application delayed care and led to further harm when Cassie later self-harmed and required secure accommodation. Learning Themes: Child’s voice was secondary to systems-focused discussions around process, placement, and risk ownership Failure to escalate proportionately, with decisions relying on relationships rather than structured processes Mental health interventions were not prioritised early enough, delaying access to essential care Why Read the Full Briefing: Cassie’s case underscores the importance of professional vigilance in managing escalation, monitoring care pathways, and ensuring the child’s emotional safety is never sidelined by procedural complexity. Cassie: 7 minute briefing Carlos: Discharge Failures and Dual Victimhood Carlos sustained injuries after being attacked by a group of young people, but was discharged from hospital into police custody shortly after surgery. His mother was not informed, and he was interviewed under general anaesthetic recovery, with a scheme-allocated adult instead of a family member. Learning Themes: Unconscious bias: Carlos’s identity as a child was overshadowed by his perceived criminality Lack of joined-up communication meant agreed safety plans were not followed Insufficient safeguarding lens during critical transition points such as discharge and police procedures Why Read the Full Briefing: Carlos’s case demonstrates how safeguarding can fail when children are viewed through a deficit lens, and how professional curiosity is needed to challenge assumptions and see the whole child. Carlos: 7 minute briefing Camille: Placement Breakdown, Crisis Response and Unseen Harm Camille was placed in emergency accommodation due to an urgent lack of suitable placements. The environment failed to meet her complex needs, resulting in multiple police callouts and hospital admissions. The case prompted questions about national placement sufficiency and local agency coordination. Learning Themes: Her voice became lost amidst urgency and structural limitations Systemic strain on placements left professionals to make difficult compromises Reactive rather than trauma-informed response, escalating Camille’s vulnerabilities Camille’s case illustrates the importance of building resilient systems that prevent short-term placement decisions from compounding trauma. It also highlights the importance of listening to the child, even under crisis conditions. Camille: 7 minute briefing Further Resources and Tools Practitioners are encouraged to revisit: CSCP Escalation and Resolution Policy⭧ CSCP Multi-Agency Practice Guidance⭧ Reflective Supervision Prompts: Embedding Learning into Practice These prompts are designed to support reflective dialogue during supervision, team debriefs, and case audits. They move beyond task completion to explore the quality, intent, and impact of professional interventions Voice of the Child How have we ensured the child’s voice is represented in this case? What are we hearing from the child—not just through their words, but through their behaviour and circumstances? Have we made space for the child to contribute meaningfully to decisions affecting them? Professional Curiosity What assumptions are we making about this child, and where have they come from? Have we explored all alternative explanations for what we are seeing or being told? What do we know, what are we inferring, and what do we need to test or challenge? Decision-making and Escalation Are the decisions being made grounded in process and evidence, or shaped by informal dynamics? Have we escalated this concern through the right channels, at the right time? Do all partners understand and agree the plan—and is it being implemented with accountability? Placement and Planning Is this placement in the child’s best interests, or is it the only available option? How is the child experiencing this placement, and have we reviewed their safety, wellbeing, and sense of belonging? Are we advocating robustly enough when the system is not meeting the child’s needs? System-wide Practice What does this case tell us about wider practice issues in our service or partnership? Are there recurring themes from other cases that this situation reflects? How are we capturing learning and applying it to improve systemic responses, not just individual casework?

Guidance for professionals on making safeguarding referrals to Croydon MASH and understanding the London Continuum of Need, ensuring referrals are consistent, evidence based and aligned to the correct threshold. Thresholds and Referrals If you work with children, young people, or families in Croydon, it’s important to know how and when to make a referral when concerns arise. What is a Threshold Thresholds help professionals decide what level of support or intervention a child or family may need. They ensure concerns are assessed consistently across agencies by setting out the different levels of need, harm, and risk, and helping practitioners determine whether Early Help, targeted intervention, or statutory social care involvement is appropriate. Understanding thresholds is essential before making a referral to the Croydon Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH). A referral is made when a professional shares concerns about a child’s welfare or safety that may meet the threshold for statutory assessment. Referrals may be based on: Observed harm or risk of harm Concerns about neglect, abuse, or unmet needs Escalation from Early Help or support services The MASH brings together professionals from social care, police, health, education, and other services to share information, assess risk, and make timely decisions. Applying thresholds correctly helps ensure children receive the right help at the right time. Understanding Thresholds of Need Before making a referral, it is important to understand the level of need or risk. Across London, professionals use a shared framework called the Continuum of Need, which helps determine the most appropriate support for each child and family. Practitioners in Croydon should refer to the London Safeguarding Continuum of Need Matrix to identify the correct threshold before submitting a referral. This ensures that decisions are consistent, evidence based and aligned to the level of need identified. Using the matrix supports effective professional judgement and strengthens the quality of information shared with the MASH. View the Threshold Continuum of Need Matrix ↗ Thresholds Continuum of Need Matrix Title Description Example Level 1 - Universal Needs met by universal services such as schools, GPs, and Family Hubs. Child is healthy, attending school regularly, supported by parents. Level 2 - Early Help Emerging worries that can be addressed with targeted support. Family experiencing difficulties with housing or parenting. Level 3 - Child in Need Complex or multiple needs requiring a statutory Children’s Social Care assessment (Section 17, Children Act 1989). Ongoing neglect concerns, or a child needing coordinated multi-agency support. Level 4 - Child Protection Acute risk of significant harm requiring urgent intervention (Section 47, Children Act 1989). Child experiencing physical or sexual abuse, or severe neglect. Making Effective Referrals in Croydon Your first point of call for understanding thresholds and making a referral Effective safeguarding relies on professionals and community organisations recognising concerns early, understanding levels of need, and knowing how to act. To support this, the CSCP has developed the Referral Guidance Toolkit, a practical resource designed to help you navigate the referral process with confidence.

Croydon's multi-agency approach to identifying, preventing, and responding to child neglect, with key indicators and practice guidance. Croydon Neglect Strategy Neglect strategy The Croydon Safeguarding Children Partnership (CSCP) is committed to protecting children and young people from neglect and ensuring they have the opportunity to thrive. Neglect is the most common form of child abuse in the UK, and its impact can be profound and long-lasting. Our strategy focuses on early identification, effective intervention, and collaborative working to safeguard children and support families. Southwest London (SWL) Neglect Strategy The SWL Neglect Strategy represents a collaborative effort across Croydon, Kingston and Richmond, Merton, and Wandsworth Safeguarding Children Partnerships to address child neglect. This strategy emphasises: A child-centred approach, ensuring the voice of the child is heard in all decisions. Early intervention and prevention, focusing on identifying risks and providing support before neglect escalates. Multi-agency collaboration, bringing together professionals from health, education, social care, and other sectors to safeguard children effectively. Download Neglect Strategy In addition to the Neglect Strategy, we encourage practitioners to read the Safeguarding Practice Reviews related to neglect. These reviews offer valuable insights into recognising and responding to neglect, highlighting real-life learning to inform and improve multi-agency practice. To support this, we’ve developed a series of 7-Minute Briefings to accompany the full reviews—concise, accessible resources that highlight key learning points and offer practical guidance. Ben (2022)– 7-Minute Briefing | Read the full review⭧ This review examines the tragic death of a two-year-old boy, highlighting systemic challenges in identifying and addressing neglect in early childhood. Ben's mother, a young first-time parent with a history of adverse childhood experiences and low-level depression, struggled to engage with support services. Carl & Max (2022) – 7-Minute Briefing | Read the full review⭧ This review examines the tragic case of Carl, a 16-year-old who was fatally stabbed. The review highlights how chronic neglect—manifested through repeated homelessness, unstable housing, and prolonged absence from education—significantly impacted Carl's wellbeing and development. These materials are designed to help practitioners reflect on their own practice and drive better outcomes for children at risk of neglect. Child Wellbeing Tool The CSCP Child Wellbeing Tool is designed to support practitioners in assessing and addressing the needs of children and young people across Croydon. This tool aligns with the Southwest London (SWL) Neglect Strategy and provides a structured, evidence-based approach to identifying and responding to concerns about child neglect.

Learn about the key findings from CSCP's Thematic review on Serious Youth Violence. Explore the K.I.D.S. V.O.I.C.E.S. principles that were developed to inform prevention strategies to protect young people. Serious Youth Violence Thematic Review Executive Summary This Child Safeguarding Practice Review (CSPR) has been written on behalf of children and young people, multi-agency services, practitioners, family members, and the community in Croydon. There was a desire to bring these voices to the fore - their voices have been reflected throughout this report. This CSPR has been a long review involving multiple strands which has included extensive information gathering and consultation. Throughout the process, multi-agency services have learnt from what has emerged and services have adapted and evolved in order to make a difference to children and families in real-time. The CSPR is focused on seven children/young people who were charged in association with the deaths of three children in 2021, these tragic deaths were not linked. The CSPR panel recognised the dynamic interplay between victim and perpetrator and therefore concluded that referring to these children/young people simply as a perpetrator would be misleading. During almost the entire period of multi-agency interventions all but one of the children/young people were under eighteen. The panel recognised that although it is common/preferred practice to refer to adolescents as ‘young people’ the term children/young people will be used throughout in recognition of the legal definition, and unique vulnerabilities, of a child. There has been active and committed involvement of multi-agency services and community representatives including over sixty front-line practitioners. On behalf of CSCP, the Independent Reviewer was privileged to meet with four parents and a child. These meetings were a humble reminder of the trauma and immense grief that follows from serious youth violence both from the perspectives of parents who lost their son and from the perspective of parents whose son was charged in association with the death of another child. All were open and frank about what is needed to change and were grateful for the opportunity to tell their story and be heard. Their perspectives have been included in this report. The 6 Key Lines of Enquiry (KLE) were agreed at the start of this CSPR. Review the support provided Identify where/why support ceased and any learning outcomes. Include the voice of the child, understand his daily life, and consider reasons why support may not have been accessed or effective. Review current community support provision, especially where it may be possible to empower parents of young people. Learn from the families (including the families of the children who died) Learn from the experiences of front-line practitioners in terms of what works well and what more may be needed locally and nationally to improve outcomes for young people affected by SYV.

CSCP supports Croydon organisations to meet Section 11 safeguarding duties with strong policies, safe recruitment and accountable leadership protecting children.

This oversight is achieved through multi-agency audits and reviews. Section 11 is a vital statutory tool that supports organisations to be self-assured in their practice, providing essential evidence to the CSCP that robust safeguarding arrangements are in place. What is Section 11? The Children Act 2004 places a clear legal requirement on a wide range of agencies to ensure that their functions, and any services they contract out, are discharged with regard to the need to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. This means safeguarding is not just an optional policy, but a core legal responsibility for every member of your leadership team. VCSF Engagement Voluntary, Community, and Faith organisations are often the first point of contact for families. Your unique position of trust within the community means you are essential partners in identifying early signs of need or risk. The CSCP works closely with the VCSF sector to ensure that community wisdom and religious sensitivities are respected within local safeguarding practices. Audit & Assurance The Section 11 audit is one mechanism used by the CSCP to monitor how well organisations are meeting these standards. It is a tool for self-reflection that helps you identify gaps in policies, training, or recruitment. Completing the audit provides your board or trustees with formal evidence that your organisation is safe, compliant, and focused on the wellbeing of children. Understanding your Duties What Safeguarding Arrangements should be in place? As set out in Working Together to Safeguard Children , these organisations and agencies should have in place arrangements that reflect the importance of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, including: Does Section 11 apply to you? You have a statutory (legal) duty if you are: A Local Authority Service An NHS organisation or Trust The Police or Probation Service Note: Schools and Colleges have similar duties under Section 175 of the Education Act 2002. While not subject to Section 11 duties, other agencies and organisations have safeguarding responsibilities under different legislation, as set out in Working Together to Safeguard Children. These include: Early Years and Childcare Children’s homes UK Visas and Immigration, Immigration Enforcement and the Border Force Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service Voluntary, charity, social enterprise, faith-based organisations and private sectors Sports Clubs / Organisations. Compliance Self-Assessment Regardless of the specific statute, the CSCP encourages all organisations working with children to meet safeguarding standards. The CSCP Self-Assessment Tool is available for organisations that wish to use it to support this process. After completing your self‑evaluation, organisations are encouraged to develop an action plan for any areas that do not yet meet the required standard. It is important to note that completion of this tool does not constitute formal validation or approval by the Croydon Safeguarding Children Partnership (CSCP). Rather, it is designed to enable organisations to undertake their own quality assurance and to contribute to a broader, partnership-wide understanding of safeguarding practice. CSCP remains available to provide support on any of the criteria where organisations feel additional guidance would be helpful. Organisations working with children and young people in Croydon are invited to complete self‑evaluation activity using the criteria below: 1. Leadership, Governance and Culture 4. Responding to Concerns 2. Policies and Procedures 5. Child Centred Practice 3. Safer Recruitment and People Management 6. Information Sharing and Partnership Working Resources CSCP Audit Tool Organisations can utilise the CSCP Self-Assessment Tool to help measure performance against the criteria set out above.
