A Leicestershire and Rutland-based organisation is getting ready to host a series of workshops for parents and parents-to-be this week as the team launch their Festival of Learning: Safeguarding Bumps and Babies.

This is the second time that the Safeguarding Children Partnerships have run a Festival of Learning. The idea is to look at all the services across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR) that form part of or join with the children's workforce to safeguard local children and families.

Therefore, anyone who works with children and families across Leicester, Leicestershire or Rutland is welcome to join any session that they think will support their practice.

This year the Festival of Learning will focus on Safeguarding Bumps and Babies. This is to look at learning around the Safeguarding Children Partnerships of LLR Priority:
