What is it about?

These workshops will increase your knowledge and confidence about the process for making safeguarding decisions for children and adults in your area of work. We focus on joined up thinking across families and networks.

It is for any professional working with either adults or young people. Many adult clients have contact with children in some capacity, and all children are cared for by adults. You can be in private practice or employed by an organisation.

What will I learn?

The session covers:

  • Legislative and statutory framework which promotes and safeguards a child's welfare, including understanding terminology and comparisons with safeguarding adults (joined up thinking).
  • An overview of types of harm and abuse.
  • The role of the a professional within the safeguarding framework, exploring issues of confidentiality with consideration to GDPR.
  • Making sense of your concerns and threshold dilemmas.
  • Guidance on recording and reporting concerns.
  • Signposting - what next.
