Safeguarding and Prejudice training

This training is a development opportunity for people who work with diverse groups of young people; and will better equip learners to manage possible biases and prejudices; and incorporate a nuanced understanding into their safeguarding practice. A young person's identity; their gender; faith; culture or ethnicity can be a factor in how professionals and other adults engage with them and respond to safeguarding concerns. In contexts where there is diversity between practitioners and decision makers; and young people; the presence of unconscious and conscious bias and prejudice may be more likely; which can increase barriers to identifying safeguarding concerns and shaping appropriate responses.
