Safeguarding & Child Protection – Evening (Zoom)

£270.00 2 hours

Description

Training, Support and Development Standards for Foster Care.

Transform compulsory training into confident, everyday practice.

Safeguarding is more than a legal checklist, it is a mindset of proactive vigilance.

 

Designed specifically for foster carers, educators, and residential social care workers, this practice-focused masterclass bridges theoretical knowledge with the complex, real-world challenges of modern child protection.

 

Whether you work in a home, classroom, or residential setting, this comprehensive session equips you with the tools to look beyond surface explanations, spot early warning signs, and act decisively to keep children safe.

Key Learning Highlights

  • Spot Hidden & Complex Indicators: Go beyond physical marks to identify subtle behavioural, emotional, and online signs of neglect, grooming, child criminal exploitation (CCE), and peer-on-peer abuse.
  • Master the Listen, Reassure, Document Protocol: Gain a clear, practical framework to handle direct and indirect disclosures with sensitivity while protecting the integrity of reports.
  • Navigate Contextual Safeguarding: Understand and address risks originating outside the family home—including social media influences, county lines, gang involvement, and radicalisation.
  • Streamline Multi-Agency Collaboration: Clarify exact reporting hierarchies across schools, foster care, and residential care settings so no child falls through the cracks.
  • Maintain Professional Boundaries & Safe Touch: Learn to foster warmth and emotional connection while keeping clear digital, physical, and emotional boundaries intact.

Why Choose This Course?

Rooted in trauma-informed practice and a strengths-based approach, this course centres on the child’s voice and empowers practitioners to cultivate professional curiosity. Leave feeling confident, supported, and ready to turn observations into effective protection.

 

Who Should Attend: Foster Carers, Kinship Carers, Residential Care Workers, Supervising Social Workers, and Children’s Social Care Practitioners.

Format: This is a live training session through the platform "Zoom". It includes taught sections, small group work, work in pairs, and whole group discussions.

 

Hand-outs & Certificates: Downloadable course notes and certificates of attendance are provided.

Empowering Safety: Bespoke Safeguarding & Child Protection Training

Why Choose Bespoke Training?

Generic training can leave staff feeling unprepared for the real-life scenarios they face. Our tailored approach ensures the content, delivery method, and case studies are directly relevant to your sector (e.g., education, healthcare, sport, charity, corporate), your local policies, and the specific vulnerabilities and risks present in your community.

Our Specialised Training Pillars

We design engaging, practical, and compliant training across three core areas:

  • For Professionals Working with Children (Child Protection): Focuses on recognising the signs of abuse and neglect, statutory guidance (e.g., Working Together to Safeguard Children), robust reporting procedures, and the creation of a safe, child-focused culture.
  • For Professionals Working with Adults (Adult Safeguarding): Focuses on the principles of the Care Act, understanding different types of harm, promoting wellbeing, Mental Capacity Act (MCA) considerations, and ensuring person-led safeguarding responses.
  • Blended Cohorts (Safeguarding for All Ages): Ideal for organisations whose staff or volunteers interact with both children and adults (e.g., community centres, housing associations, religious organisations). This training highlights the common principles of good practice while clearly delineating the different legal frameworks, signs of harm, and reporting routes for each demographic.

Invest in training that transforms knowledge into action. Equip your team with the confidence and competence to protect those in your care proactively.

Need more time?

We recognise that sometimes groups need more time for discussions and group work. This can mean that a two-hour session is just not long enough to explore the curriculum and engage in question and answer sessions. So we are you offering the opportunity to extend the session by an hour to allow your trainees the chance to explore the curriculum fully!
