Safeguarding: What every professional needs to know about safe practice and working ethically with children

Overview

Led by Liz Ronan, this 1-day Live Conference Event is designed to increase your confidence and competence in dealing effectively and ethically with child protection situations which may arise in your practice. It will begin with an overview of the current legal and policy context within which services to children are situated.

Definitions of abuse and neglect will be considered including how children may present their experience of these painful life experiences, not only verbally but through their behaviour, play and art work. Furthermore, discussion will take place on how you should deal with concerns or disclosures in line with statutory child protection procedures.
