Course outline:

Our understanding of neurodiversity is developing, and in acceptance has been most recently driven by the self-disclosure of many high-profile persons who share their narratives of vulnerability and resilience in relation to their neurodiverse traits.

This webinar explores what neurodiversity is, debates the deficit vs. superpower discourse, and explicitly explores safeguarding and vulnerability with a focus on key areas of safeguarding practice.

Training topics will include:

• What is neurodiversity and what does the broad definition of neurodiversity include?
• Deficit model or super-power: do they both spell vulnerability?
• How diverse thinking and cognitive processing traits impact the planning and delivery of safeguarding practice with a specific focus on:
  • Child-on-child abuse
  • Adverse childhood experiences (in both children and adults) and trauma informed practice
  • The impact of masking on mental health outcomes
  • radicalisation

Learning outcomes:

• Increase knowledge and awareness of a range of neurodiversity
• Improve understanding of possible vulnerabilities for neurodiverse people
• Explore key areas of adult and child safeguarding practice through the lens of neurodiverse informed perspectives
