| View in browser Dear Colleague,  We hope you had a wonderful Christmas break and are ready and rested for the term ahead! In this newsletter, we are focusing on neglect and the resources available to help you - including new neglect training, delivered by our new colleague Alex who is an expert in this area.  Watch this clip for an overview of the newsletter       Due to increased pressures from the deepening cost-of-living crisis, schools may be more concerned about how children are cared for. You are probably familiar with the Working Together definition and aware that it is the most prevalent form of maltreatment.    However, it is also the most complex and challenging form to identify, can look very different from case to case, and is affected by an array of factors.        Find out more at neglect.lgfl.net Our new neglect page at neglect.lgfl.net has: examples of neglect in its different forms reflective questions to help you identify and respond to it details of our new training (starting on 20 January): a two-hour session to explore the complexities of neglect and improve your safeguarding practice       Hi from Alex: Alex Dave is a new member of the LGfL DigiSafe team; she joins us from a role in a local authority leading a project to improve the identification of and response to neglect.
