Webinar: professional abuse in schools – trends and implications for practice

13th October 2020 @ 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

It is essential that those who hold responsibility for protecting children in schools and / or as case managers are aware of the broad range of behaviours that fall under the umbrella of an ‘allegation of abuse against staff’. It is also crucial that they understand the arrangements that they should have in place to minimise the risk of children being harmed in their care.

This webinar looks at the learning from recent known cases of professional abuse and the IICSA inquiry, and begins to consider what schools can do to minimise the risk of inappropriate or harmful conduct by staff towards pupils.

Audience: DSLs, DDSLs, senior leadership team, designated governors, HR.

Training aims: To provide delegates with an overview of recent developments in our understanding of professional abuse in education settings.

Outcomes: Delegates will be able to:

  • Describe the range of behaviours that constitute ‘professional abuse’
  • Identify some of the recurring themes identified in known cases
  • Explain how robust policies and practice can minimise the risk of children being harmed by a member of staff.

Cost:

  • Member rate: £50
  • Non-member rate: £100*
