Safeguarding

This course has been designed to develop practitioner understanding of complex neglect (where children and young people are exposed to multiple typologies of neglect). Learners will develop a deeper understanding of the factors that underpin neglect and skills to prevent it.

The Duty To Report (Form) Masterclasses are designed to upskill Group B and C practitioners who have never received any formal training on how to complete a DTR (previously MARF for children) for a suspected adult at risk.

This is a session on issues of internet safety and protecting children and young people from abuse online including the impact on teenage brain development and mental health, an overview of the law in Wales and how to access help and support.

This course is suitable for Group B practitioners who have a particular responsibility for the people they work with and therefore require a higher level of knowledge than those in Group A. Group B practitioners work with people who may or may not have safeguarding concerns, but do not participate in protection planning or sit on core groups and are not expected to give safeguarding advice to others. Group B practitioners will be aware of their responsibility to report concerns and there will be a clear line of reporting they are expected to follow.

This course will help delegates to have a basic understanding of executive functioning and the difficulties that can arise when these skills are compromised including decision making (MCA Act 2005) and safety. The half day will explain how an individual can “talk the talk” but cannot follow through and take action (walk the walk). It will briefly consider some conditions that can impact of decision making abilities and how best to support someone effected by executive dysfunction
