What to do when you’re worried about a child or young person

A short virtual workshop that will support community organisations to feel confident in making referrals to children’s services, discussing their concerns with families and social workers, and clarify how to refer to Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster.
