This is an advanced course suitable for anyone who works with children, young people at adults at risk, either in a paid role or as a volunteer. This course builds on learning in basic safeguarding knowledge to consider statutory guidance and processes including the continuum of need. By the end of the course learners will have developed awareness of the challenges of multi agency working the role of the designated safeguarding lead and identified their own priorities for developing their role as reflective practitioners. The course can be run either for those who work with children, or to include adults at risk.
I have worked with parents and children for over 20 years in a variety of roles. I am an experienced and dynamic leader who has worked both in the statutory and voluntary sector to manage projects from inception to delivery of challenging targets. I am an enthusiastic individual keen to motivate others and support them to develop to their full potential.
I have over 10 years of leadership and management experience. Alongside this I have had 20 years experience of training. I have developed my own programmes in response to identified training needs, and delivered accredited courses. Both in my paid work and voluntary roles, I work with community members, staff and partners and I have developed excellent interpersonal, written and verbal skills to communicate at different levels. I source about 50% of my work directly with clients and for the other 50% am delighted to work with various training and consultancy companies, ensuring that my knowledge and professional development is always up to date.
