SUMMARY:SKEF: Exploring Gang Culture\, Criminal Exploitation\, Vulnerability and Violence
DESCRIPTION:The Specialist Knowledge and Exchange Forums provide a unique opportunity to share practice experience and specialist skills\, that will inform practice and service development. These sessions are suitable for social work practitioners\, managers and anyone involved in supporting social work practice. \nSession summary \nThis session will be presented by David Finnegan\, London Metropolitan Police and Simone Nyarko & Kayleigh Broughton\, Consultant Social Workers\, London Borough of Hackney. \nParticipants will learn about the experiences of two agencies in supporting victims that are also perpetrators and together explore: \n\nUnderstanding what may make a young person or vulnerable adult more susceptible to exploitation\nConsider early warning signs that social work staff should be aware of in both child protection and adult social work\nConsider what is needed from services to respond effectively to criminal exploitation and recovery\n\nParticipants will be able to share their own experiences and consider the usefulness\, applicability and potential impact on practice and service outcomes. \nPresenters \nDavid Finnegan \nPolice Sergeant David Finnegan is an active member of the UK Police Force; he has served in London with the Metropolitan Police Service for 15 years.  During this time he has policed Gang Related Crime (GRC) and lead the Enfield Gangs Unit – managing Criminal Investigations\, Intervention Tactics and Local Authority Partnership Work.  PS Finnegan has extensive strategic and practical experience of Covert Policing Operations tackling Youth Violence. His long service with the Metropolitan Police has allowed him a broad range of policing perspectives; from policing local communities keeping the public safe\, to two years as a Custody Sergeant responsible for the care and welfare of arrested persons.   \nDavid Finnegan was commissioned as a Pilot Officer of the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (Training) in 2006.  He continues to support thousands of young people aged between 12 and 20 in his work with the RAF Air Cadets\, where he is now a Squadron Leader and the London Wing Shooting Officer\,  with oversight of the skill and discipline of marksmanship. \n Kayleigh Broughton \n\nKayleigh is currently working as a Consultant Social Worker in the London Borough of Hackney’s Access and Assessment Service. Kayleigh has worked in statutory child protection for the last 10 years having worked in MASH\, assessment and long term child protection teams as well as undertaking independent social work assessments of parenting capacity and court work. Kayleigh worked in the Contextual Safeguarding Project part of the London Borough of Hackney’s Family Intervention and Support Service (FISS) 2018-2020; this project focused on working with adolescent risk and  recognising and responding to extra-familial safeguarding issues. Kayleigh’s work included embedding the Contextual Safeguarding approach across FISS by delivering training to both internal and external partners. \nPrior to 2011 Kayleigh worked in a range of voluntary and statutory settings in the London boroughs of Enfield\, Southwark\, Camden and Lambeth\, and the city of Bath. Kayleigh has previously worked in Youth Justice\, a Women and Children’s Refuge for families fleeing domestic abuse and mentoring services for young people at risk of criminal exploitation. \nKayleigh was appointed as a magistrate in the Adult Criminal Court in March 2015 and the Youth Court in  June 2018. \n  \n\nSimone Nyarko \nWith over 12 years in the social work field\, Simone has developed a particular interest in understanding\, preventing and responding to Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE)\, Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE)\, Harmful Sexual Behaviour (HSB) and Peer-on-peer abuse. \nAs a manager within the Contextual Safeguarding Project (Hackney) she has managed and modelled the testing of assessment frameworks and interventions for practitioners from a contextual safeguarding perspective. This includes strategically formalising new processes and mechanisms to develop a robust\, integrated and effective statutory child protection response to the complex and rapidly changing peer abuse issues within a local authority; this work has culminated in her authoring the first ever Neighbourhood Assessment using a Contextual Safeguarding framework (Firmin 2017).  Simone has authored a Safety Mapping resource which has been endorsed by the University of Bedfordshire and is available on their learning platform: The Contextual Safeguarding Network. This tool supports practitioners to understand risk and safety from the perspective of young people and contributes to the formulation of child-centered safety plans to address extra-familial harm. \nSimone has independently been working on formalising a framework for the identification of peer-to-peer recruitment into exploitation\, which builds on the work of the grooming triangle used by Barnardos to understand adult perpetrated Child Sexual Exploitation.  This work is due to be published late 2019. \n

This session will explore some of the challenges and successes and how to make the best use of time\, talent and money to increase the positive impact of an integrated service in the lives of the people it serves. \nBiography: Having grown up in a family with four adopted siblings and numerous long and short term foster children\, a future in social care was perhaps inevitable! A social worker by background\, for most of his career\, Simon has worked in the sometimes choppy waters between health and social care. For many years\, Simon was Principal Manager for Placements with the London Borough of Kingston upon Thames co-located with the Primary Care Trust (PCT) managing access to care home placements and packages of care for all adult service user groups. He spent three years as the Social Care Lead for pandemic flu at the Department of Health and Social Care (remember Swine flu!) before becoming Assistant Director of Transformation at a large acute hospital\, and then spent five years as Continuing Healthcare Lead for City and Hackney Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). For the last two years\, Simon has led the Integrated Discharge Service in Hackney\, a joint appointment between London Borough of Hackney and the Homerton University NHS Foundation Trust. \n  \nWhat is integration and why does it matter? \nAndrew Reece\, Head of Integrated Learning Disability Service \n \nSummary of session: Andrew will lead an interactive session that will introduce some of the evidence about integration\, including the variety of levels\, what works and what it might mean from the differing perspectives of people who use services\, front line professionals\, local system leaders and Whitehall. While he doesn’t have all the answers\, you will leave this session with a better understanding of the complex debate that continues to surround integration in its many and varied forms. \nBiography: Since qualifying as a social worker in 1996\, Andrew has worked in London and the Midlands in adult disability or all age disability teams. While working for Coventry\, Andrew was Lead Manager for Transition and led Coventry’s Individual Budget Pilot. Andrew was Interim Head of Staffordshire’s All Age Disability Service\, supporting the development of a key worker led model of care and support across social care and education\, and also spent time supporting the development of Wolverhampton’s All Age Disability Service. Andrew is currently Head of an Integrated NHS/Local Authority Learning Disability Service in Camden where he leads one of the Named Social Worker Pilots\, the learning from which Camden Learning Disability Service (CLDS) are now putting into practice through the development of a named worker model of health and social care. \n  \nWorks for everyone? Family Group Conferencing with Adults\, beyond the domain of child protection \nTim Fisher\, Service Manager – FGC and Restorative Practice \n \nSummary of session: Using family group conferencing (FCG) with vulnerable adults has been viewed for a long time as an idea with real potential. Why? Evidence from children’s FGCs\, innovative practice in the Netherlands and policy developments in Adult Social Care & Mental Health all are sources for the optimism about the model birthed from Maori principles. \nBiography: Tim has been involved in family group conferencing for more than 12 years as an advocate\, coordinator and manager of FGC projects in Cardiff\, Essex and Camden. Tim is a former chair of the All Wales FGC Network and a current member of the national accreditation of FGC projects development group. A qualified social worker with an MA in research on the use of direct payments for adults and time spent at the NSPCC developing in-depth assessments of children returning home from care. He has worked with Research in Practice and the Early Intervention Foundation on measuring the impact of FGCs for different people in the community. More than 300 family group conferences a year are held in community venues across Camden and our motto is that “FGC can work for everyone”\, from the parent and new-born child seeking early help to the adult who wants to plan for a good end of life. \nPublished articles: \nhttps://www.ripfa.org.uk/blog/family-group-conference-in-social-work/ \nhttp://www.communitycare.co.uk/2016/09/22/werent-service-users-social-workers-just-people/ \nhttp://www.communitycare.co.uk/2017/03/21/social-work-practice-uniting-social-workers-across-world/ \n  \n*This event is only open to social workers and practitioners working in social care within our Partner organisations\, comprising of Barnet\, Camden\, Enfield\, Hackney\, Haringey and Islington councils\, the charity Norwood and Middlesex University. \n**Due to the limited spaces available\, if this event is oversubscribed\, registration will close seven days ahead of the event and places will be equally shared between Partner organisations.
