Description

Observation, Analytical skills with Reflective Practice & Recording Skills

Observation and recording are essential elements when working with children and their families. We understand that not all carers may enjoy keeping records, so we have created a specialised course emphasising the importance of observation in building relationships with young people.

Our course is tailored to care staff in various settings and aims to assist them in fulfilling their obligations and duties to observe and accurately record concerns. Monitoring and recording effectively are crucial in providing excellent service to those in your care.

Recording is a vital aspect of social care and is at the core of providing sound, person-centred support. Our course highlights the importance of observation in fulfilling your duty of care to safeguard young people.

We also cover the myths surrounding reflective practice in our comprehensive course. Critical reflection enables us to analyse what we have learned and how we have learned it, leading to clearer thinking and minimising emotional bias. Our Reflective Practice Improves Work Performance course delves into the theory of Reflective Practice to enhance personal development, caregiving, and organisational improvement. Aspiring person-centred practitioners looking to develop advanced skills can benefit significantly from this course.

Learning Aims:

  1. Identify the impact of selective perception on observation and recording
  2. Distinguish fact from opinion and provide an assessment and analysis of information
  3. Maintain accurate, complete, accessible and up-to-date records and reports
  4.  Provide evidence for judgements and decisions
  5. Learn what reflective practice is all about and how to apply it.
  6. Understand the importance of reflective practice at work.
  7. Develop the skills required to improve work performance. 
  8. Develop a toolset for using thoughtful planning with carers and young people.
  9. Consider the agency implication
  10. Share records appropriately with individuals, families and carers
  11. Consider how we can apply it to practice

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 hand-outs and certificates will be 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!
