SAFEGUARDING TRAINING TAILORED AROUND YOU

talk to us

Our high-quality safeguarding training and consultation can be tailored for a wide range of learners and organisations. From one-off workshops to ongoing support, our training is designed to help make your organisation safer and stronger.

OUR TRAINING PACKAGES

Whether you are seeking professional development opportunities or need support in implementing effective strategies, or shaping your curriculum, we can work with you to find the ideal solution and support you in rolling it out. We understand many of the roles in your organisation, and where we don’t understand them we will learn, to make sure our support is fully aligned with your organisational strategy and the daily duties and challenges of the people within it. 

All our training is personalised and delivered face to face, drawing on real life experience to make sure you and your trainees are ready for real world situations, including what to look for, the kind of language children are likely to use, and the language you should use to protect them and all other affected parties at all times.

WHO ARE OUR COURSES FOR?
Our training courses are written to provide an immersive dive through specific topics and leave no stone unturned. Constructed around an optimal three-day delivery, they are ideal for key roles such as Designated Safeguarding Leads, Headteachers, and SENCOs. We will work with you to make sure time away from daily duties is minimised, by scheduled across inset days or compressing time into shorter time frames where required.

Here are some examples of the training we deliver. Let us know what your priorities are and we’ll tailor or create a course around your specific needs.

Beginning-to-end disclosure
3 days

This course aims to provide you with the most up-to-date knowledge of child protection procedures. You will learn how to accurately identify signs of maltreatment and report any concerns without delay. It also covers the referral process and what you can expect after a referral has been made, all the way through the different pathways that can occur.
By learning how to properly record concerns about abuse and neglect, understand the safeguarding framework, and recognize risks, trainees will feel more confident and relaxed in following internal procedures, display more resilience in the event of a referral, and provide a higher level of protection to all the children in your care.

Our course will teach you:

Real world responses
Our dialogue led tasks are created to specifically address common themes drawing on our own personal experience to reflect the kind of dynamics you are likely to encounter in real scenarios.  
Effective online reporting 
We’ll discuss the importance of record keeping and evidence in protecting children from trauma and abuse and show you how to apply best practice when using CPOMS or equivalent online recording systems. We’ll consider a range of real report models, talking specifically around what information can end up missing and needs to be added.
Current legislation and real world examples
We’ll get you up to speed on the key legislation and framework that underpins safeguarding practice in the UK at present. We’ll also look closely at how you can recognise the practise from serious case reviews and wider research.
What to look for
We’ll help you identify signs of maltreatment and vulnerabilities, and evaluate specific risk factors.
Who is involved
We’ll explain all the roles that different agencies play in the referral process, along with how and when you should work with them.

Attachment theory
1-3 days

The aim of this course is to deepen staff understanding of attachment theory and its relevance to children’s development, behaviour, and learning. 

Scaleable from one to three days, participants will explore the impact of different attachment styles on emotional and social outcomes, and gain practical strategies to support children affected by insecure attachments. 

The course draws on the latest research, psychological theories, and our own real-world experiences to enhance staff competency in fostering secure relationships and creating a supportive educational environment, and ensure they feel equipped to apply what they’ve learned directly in their work right away.

Together we will work with you to:

Understand Attachment Theory 
We’ll give you a clear overview of attachment theory, including its origins, key concepts, and the impact of secure and insecure attachments on a child’s development.
Explore Research and Evidence
We’ll look at up-to-date research findings on attachment and its implications for children’s behaviour, emotional regulation, and academic engagement.
Identify Attachment Styles
We will equip participants with the ability to recognise different attachment styles and understand how these may present in a classroom or school setting.
Link Theory to Practise
We’ll offer practical, research-based strategies to support children with different attachment needs, with a focus on creating consistent and safe relational experiences in school.
Promote Secure Attachments
We’ll share best practices for developing trusting and supportive relationships with pupils to encourage secure attachments, build resilience, and improve long-term outcomes including guiding the kind of language and phrases you use when interacting with children.
Address Behavioural Challenges
Explore how trauma and attachment difficulties can manifest in behaviour and provide staff with approaches to manage these behaviours in a compassionate and effective manner.
Implement Attachment-Informed Practices
Provide guidance on integrating attachment-informed approaches into school policies, safeguarding procedures, and educational practices to create a more inclusive and nurturing environment.
