CYP Expression of interest: Join the movement, be the difference - a C&M Campaign

To improve the communication between Children & Young People and Professionals across Cheshire & Merseyside, a campaign is currently in development working with CYP and those working directly with them. To support the development of this campaign we are hoping to reach as many children and young people as possible to complete the following expression of interest to attend sessions with colleagues at Kaleidoscope. CYP is hosting three interactive and engaging workshops at the office of Kaleidoscope, a graphic design and digital company based in Liverpool. These sessions will focus on developing a brand, logo, and communications plan for a new project that encourages healthcare professionals to put young people first during appointments. Share the QR code in the poster within your own networks for CYP completion by the 14th July

Pan Cheshire Child Death Overview Panel

Following a very sad, tragic and preventable incident last weekend when children had got into difficulty in open water: Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service issued this message to remind the public that:

“The water may look calm on the surface, but there can be strong undercurrents that could pull even a strong swimmer under the water.

“And even when the weather feels very hot, the water may feel warm on the surface, but just a few feet below the surface it can be icy cold – affecting the stamina and strength of even strong swimmers.

“If you are with someone who gets into difficulty, call emergency services for help. If you can, use an object to try and reach for them, but don’t put yourself in danger by entering the water.”

Please share the Summer Water Safety Poster with your teams and print and display in public areas.

NHS England North West Region Safeguarding Newsletter Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation 22 April 2024

Please see the notice below from Alder Hey Children's Hospital regarding Shein Tattoo Kits

An issue  has been raised via safeguarding supervision today with CAMHS.

A practitioner has shared that a young person aged 13 managed to purchase a tattoo kit from Shein for £5 and now has a permanent tattoo on her wrist. Parents have sought medical attention and to check that it hadn’t become infected etc.

The CAMHS practitioner has asked the child’s mother to report this to Shein.

There are a number of kits on sale via the Shein website. Further googling shows cheap tattoo kits are available from the likes of Ali Express also.

Alder Hey Safeguarding Duty Team are aware and will share with relevant teams such as emergency departement colleagues to watch out if they see children and young people coming through the emergency department with tattoo related injuries/wounds/infections.

Please share this message with education, social care colleagues, safeguading partnerships and NHS England.
