A one-day conference connecting mental health, safeguarding, inclusion and wellbeing across education, community and voluntary sectors.

Safe, Seen, Supported is a one-day conference bringing together professionals from education, safeguarding, community and voluntary organisations to explore the connections between mental health, wellbeing, vulnerability and safeguarding practice.

The day is designed to move beyond looking at safeguarding issues in isolation. Instead, it will consider how relationships, belonging, inclusion, domestic abuse, exploitation, online harm, AI and professional reflection all shape the way we understand risk, respond to need and support those around us.

Taking place on Wednesday 28 April 2027 at Red Hall Hotel, Bury, the conference will bring together experienced leaders and specialists from across different sectors.

Speakers include:

Anthony Benedict

CEO & Author, Ambition Community Trust

Dr Gill Smallwood

CEO, Fortalice

Katherine Howard

Head of Education & Wellbeing (UK), Smoothwall

Dr Sarah Hall

Head of Training and Research, Ivison Trust

Katie Malley

Safeguarding & Therapeutic Education Consultant, Katie Malley Ltd

Across the day, delegates will explore themes including relational inclusion, domestic abuse, social media, online harm and AI, child sexual exploitation, child criminal exploitation and reflective supervision.

The conference is particularly relevant for professionals working across education, safeguarding, early help, pastoral support, SEND, health and wellbeing, community services and the voluntary sector.

The aim is to create a thoughtful, practical and relevant day with opportunities for learning, reflection and cross-sector connection.
