Acquire the coaching skills to better motivate, engage and work with your staff

The day offers the newly appointed, inexperienced and deputy DSL an opportunity to fully explore their role and responsibilities with colleagues undertaking the same role within a school or college. Information will be disseminated from a variety of key front line professionals about recognising abuse, multi-agency safeguarding hub and making effective referrals. Key safeguarding priorities will also be addressed.

This course will support practitioners to explore and analyse the impact of culture, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability and other differences for children and their families. Practitioners will gain tools and strategies to ensure the child's lived experience is captured within the context of their family, community, country of origin and life in the UK.

This course provides participants with a comprehensive overview of the key issues relating to safeguarding and disabled children. Research informs us that disabled children are 4 times more likely to be at risk of abuse and neglect. The session explores some of the barriers to safeguarding this vulnerable group and will look at good practice in promoting the welfare and wellbeing of disabled children.

Areas also adressed are:
Impact of culture
Loss and grief
Importance of multi agency working and seeing the child holistically
Reluctance to challenge carers
Lack of understanding and training about safeguarding disabled children

There is already emerging evidence, internationally and domestically, that the Coronavirus crisis is leading to an increase in domestic abuse.

In this webinar we will cover:

• The implications for supporting women and other victims of domestic abuse;
• Recognising and addressing concerns about the welfare of children in such a context;
• Engaging and working with perpetrators in the current context;
• The importance and reality of multi-agency work in such circumstances;
• Messages from research and practice- informed knowledge about domestic abuse, and how these can be applied to current practice.

This course is aimed at professionals working with children and young people who are involved in, or at risk of becoming involved in gangs or serious youth violence as a victim, perpetrator or both. The event will highlight the need for a multi-agency approach as outlined in national guidance and current research based practice and includes an overview of the local gangs picture, interventions and services available in Wandsworth.
