If there are no more places, please click here to be added to the waiting list

Overview:

Do you ever feel worried about the safety of a family or child but unsure about how to proceed?

As the picture is often incomplete, we can feel hesitant about what to look out for and what to convey to families and colleagues. Through case-based discussion, simulation, and a multidisciplinary approach, this course will empower you to take responsibility for getting safeguarding conversations started.


Course Aims:

• Examine why, from a psychological viewpoint, the temptation to “turn a blind eye” to risk can be significant

• Discuss complex case examples and reflect on previous experiences of safeguarding concerns

• Clarify key information around safeguarding duties and responsibilities

• Practice starting safeguarding conversations in a safe and confidential setting

• Learn how to document safeguarding conversations appropriately


Who is this course for?

This course is aimed at all patient-facing team staff
