Roundtable
Child sexual exploitation: Claims, inquiries and beyond
11 February 2026
Browne Jacobson, Manchester office
Can you handle what's behind the headlines? When CSE claims emerge, will you navigate sensitive disclosures, support colleagues through inquiry scrutiny, or give evidence under pressure?
Join us to confront these challenges head-on. Build resilience, share experiences with peers, and develop the empathy and expertise to protect the vulnerable when it matters most.
Over the course of this session, hear from our lawyers:
- Laura Broadhead, Senior Associate from our Social Care team, will be providing the best advice on handling CSE claims. You’ll leave with practical strategies to navigate sensitive disclosures and avoid the pitfalls that derailed others.
- Stephanie McGarry, Partner in our Inquiries team, will help you prepare for managing inquiry participation. She’ll be available to give clear answers on your obligations, timelines and how to protect your authority from missteps.
- Sarah Erwin-Jones, Partner in our Social Care team, will give first hand insight from giving evidence at IICSA – what to expect and how to prepare.
- Our PR team: Protect your reputation when cases hit the headlines.
If there are any specific issues that you would like our speakers to address on these points, please contact us after sign up and we will do our best to accommodate this.
