Webinar – Addressing Peer-on-Peer Abuse: Evidence and Approaches in Practice

As part of a series of webinars in relation to The Bairns Hoose Dr Janelle Rabe will present at the following webinar. 

Children and young people affected by peer-on-peer abuse often encounter complex challenges impacting their safety, well-being, and recovery.

The webinar is designed for practitioners in social work, health, education, police, and the third sector who support young people and their families.
