Webinar - Trauma Informed Safeguarding Training for Psychologists

£145.00

3.5 hour webinar:

Regular safeguarding refreshers are essential for practitioner psychologists - but standard courses often leave gaps in how legislation and best practices apply to our specific roles.

This training is designed to fill some of those gaps. It's not a level-based course, but an opportunity to revisit key safeguarding principles, legislation including recent updates, and lessons from inquiries and reviews, with a focus on real-world application for psychologists.

We'll be joined by a former Child Protection Police Officer - now a police trainer for detectives handling violent and serious crime including non recent and recent sexual offences - who’ll share insights into a police perspective on safeguarding adults and children. Bring all your questions!

Topics covered include:

  • Balancing confidentiality and therapeutic rapport with safeguarding duties

  • Legal responsibilities around sharing risk information including new mandatory reporting law

  • How do we ensure our approach to safeguarding is trauma informed?

  • Managing safeguarding related risk in independent practice

  • What actually happens when you make a referral

Please note - Whilst juggling busy diaries, we have tried to offer a range of days of the week and times to be as inclusive as possible of people’s commitments such as school runs, NWDs and lunchtimes. If you want to come to a training but can’t make it fit, get in touch with us and let us know what you need.

Additional Information

This refresher is aimed at psychologists with previous safeguarding training and experience but trainees or assistant psychs are also welcome.

We purposefully cover both child and adult safeguarding in these trainings. My view is that we can encounter issues relating to both in our practice regardless of specialism, and we should be ready to take appropriate action.

Delegates come from a range of services and contexts, including those working in statutory services as well as many from independent practice.

Delegates will receive a slide deck packed with helpful links and resources.

The training delivered in this webinar is focused on the UK and in particular English statute.

We have recently developed an interactive workshop as a follow on from this training to enable delegates to apply their knowledge to complex real life scenarios in discussion with peers. We are dedicated to multidisciplinary working and will be joined in the workshops by expert social work colleagues; together we will take all your questions.
