Safeguarding Training and Consultancy

Safeguarding

Schools play an important role in protecting children from different forms of abuse and staff in school are often chosen as the trusted adult for children, in difficult circumstances, to turn to. They have regular contact with children and young people, so are in a strong position to identify different signs of abuse.

Schools with the most successful safeguarding have a clear safeguarding ethos and policy, alongside high quality training that ensures every member of staff knows what to do and carries it out consistently across the school.

Training for Safeguarding Children and Young People with Disabilities

There is evidence that disabled children are three to four times more likely to be abused or neglected (Jones et al 2012, Sullivan & Knutson 2000) than non-disabled children.

Children with disabilities have additional needs which requires them to need protection. Learning from serious case reviews shows a year on year increase in the number of children with disabilities involved in reviews and the risks from significant harm have not been recognised. (Brandon, 2015)

This course redresses this balance by focussing on assisting those working with children with disabilities to recognise risks. Using a balance of research, guidance, practice and case studies to show how the voice (even when non-vocal) of the child can be raised.

What you will learn

  • To understand the specific vulnerability to abuse of children with disabilities and special needs.
  • To raise awareness of the particular safeguarding needs of disabled children and identifying safeguarding concerns
  • To recognise disruptive or distressed behaviour not just as a result of a learner’s disability but also of potential safeguarding concerns.
  • Finding ways of making the child’s voice heard
  • Learning from sexual exploitation, cuckooing and the vulnerabilities of children and young adults with disabilities

Who should attend

This training is suitable for all staff working within specialist Special Educational Needs settings or for schools supporting learners’ disabilities
