Safeguarding

This session is 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 child at risk.

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 is suitable for Designated Safeguarding Person/s (DSP’s) and those who take a more prominent role in safeguarding decisions within their own setting, including those with an active role in protection planning activities.

To increase awareness and understanding of how to recognise the signs and indicators of adult exploitation, and how to respond in a focused, effective, and safeguarding centred way.

This Barring Workshop is designed to strengthen safeguarding practitioners’ understanding of when and how barring referrals should be made, and the responsibilities organisations hold under the legal duty to refer. Participants will develop confidence in assessing relevant conduct, applying the harm test, and recognising when thresholds for referral have been met. Practical examples and discussion will support practitioners in making high quality referrals supported by appropriate evidence.

This interactive full-day programme provides a deeper, practical and research-informed exploration of AI literacy, AI-related safeguarding risks and child-centred, preventative and trauma-informed professional concerns. Participants will take part in discussions, case studies, reflective activities and scenario-based learning to support safer conversations and professional practice
