Safeguarding

 Registration is closed for this event
Safeguarding is about having the knowledge and awareness to understand various types of abuse and neglect, being able to identify the signs and what to look for; knowing what steps to take if you suspect abuse is happening and knowing what to do if a child or an adult discloses abuse.

Understanding the Safeguarding agenda will also help ensure your organisation works responsibly and safely, without putting staff in vulnerable positions.

"Safeguarding means protecting a person’s right to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect. It is about people and organisations working together to prevent and stop both the risks and experience of abuse or neglect, while at the same time making sure that the person’s wellbeing is promoted including, where appropriate, having regard to their views, wishes, feelings and beliefs in deciding on any action." (Care and support statutory guidance, DH, 2016)

Delivered by experienced safeguarding practitioners from Liverpool Social Care Partnership CIC, this one day training session is designed to provide delegates with a basic awareness of safeguarding and the action they should take if they have cause for concern.

  • Understand the legislative context of the legal framework for safeguarding and child protection
