Colleagues in education\, social care\, youth services\, early help\, charity and third sector organisations with an interest and responsibility for safeguarding.\nšŸ“ Online \nCourse outline: \nThe phrase ā€˜affluent neglectā€™ presents something of a perceived oxymoron. If there is affluence\, how can there also be neglect? \nSadly\, affluent neglect is a real issue and concern\, and can be particularly challenging to identify and manage where signs and indicators may look different to those in under-resourced families. \nThe power relations between safeguarding practitioners and parents can provide an additional layer of complexity where there is resistance to intervention and support\, and the signs of neglect can often be emotional/mental rather than physical. \nThis interactive seminar that also involves delegates in group work and reflective practice draws on messages from research and practical application to explore affluent neglect and working with affluent parents. \nTraining topics will include: \n\nWhat is affluent neglect?\nIdentification and support\nUnderstanding and working with the power relations between safeguarding practitioner and affluent parents/carers\nCase study example for group-work and reflective practice.\n\nLearning outcomes: \n\nDevelop an increased understanding of what affluent neglect is\, and how to spot it\nConsider strategies to provide support\nUnpick the power relations between safeguarding practitioner and affluent parents that potentially impact safeguarding effective safeguarding practice\nReview the practical application of identification\, and implementation of strategies for managing affluent neglect through case study review.\n\nBOOK NOW \n*If you would like to become a member and access discounted rates for Sacpa CPD and events\, please click here. \n\nĀ  URL:https://www.sacpa.org.uk/event/sacpa-bsa-working-with-affluent-families-when-neglect-becomes-a-concern-4/ LOCATION:Virtual (Zoom) ā€“ This event will NOT be recorded\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Online,Seminar ORGANIZER;CN="The Safeguarding and Child Protection Association":MAILTO:info@sacpa.org.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20270210T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20270210T120000 DTSTAMP:20260804T151554Z CREATED:20260804T151554Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260804T151554Z UID:17207-1802253600-1802260800@www.sacpa.org.uk SUMMARY:An Introduction to Safeguarding Level 2 Certificate DESCRIPTION:šŸ·ļø From Ā£135\nšŸŽ§ All workers who have direct contact with children and their families\nšŸ“ Online \n\nCourse outline: \nUpdated for Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) 2026 \nA Level 2 Certificate of Attendance is available upon completion. \nThis essential safeguarding refresher is designed for all staff working with children and young people who are not Designated Safeguarding Leads.

It will distinguish between radical beliefs\, extremism and violent extremism\, while emphasising that radicalisation is not a universal or linear process. The session will consider the particular relevance of adolescence\, trauma and adverse childhood experiences\, while avoiding assumptions that these factors predict involvement in violent extremism. \nThe webinar will also focus on recognising meaningful indicators of concern\, particularly where there are patterns of change\, escalation and movement towards the justification\, glorification or preparation of violence. Participants will be encouraged to consider behaviour within its wider personal\, social and environmental context rather than relying on isolated warning signs or checklists. \nTraining topics will include: \n\n\nUnderstanding radicalisation and distinguishing between radical beliefs\, extremism and violent extremism\, including the non-linear nature of radicalisation and the possibility of change and disengagement.\n\n\nUnderstanding push and pull factors\, including the role of grievance\, identity\, belonging\, relationships and status\, and how these can shape receptivity to extremist messaging.\n\n\nConsidering why adolescence can be a significant developmental period without treating normal adolescent behaviours as indicators of radicalisation.\n\n\nUnderstanding how adverse childhood experiences\, trauma and attachment disruption may interact with other individual\, relational and environmental factors.\n\n\nUsing online misogynistic and grievance-based communities to illustrate how ideological environments can engage with individual grievances and needs.\n\n\nDistinguishing factors that may shape susceptibility to extremist messaging from meaningful indicators of progression towards violent extremism.\n\n\nRecognising patterns of change\, clustering\, escalation and direction of travel.\n\n\nRecognising patterns that may indicate increasing orientation towards\, justification of or preparation for violence.\n\n\nLearning outcomes: \n\nDevelop a clearer understanding of radicalisation and its relationship to extremism and violent extremism.\nUnderstand why there is no single pathway\, profile or timeline associated with radicalisation.\nIncrease knowledge of the individual\, relational\, ideological and environmental factors that may shape susceptibility to extremist messaging.\nUnderstand why adolescence\, trauma and adverse childhood experiences should not be treated as predictors of violent extremism\, while recognising how they may interact with other individual\, relational and environmental factors to increase susceptibility to extremist messaging.\nDevelop confidence in distinguishing behaviours that may reflect broader developmental or psychosocial concerns from indicators specifically suggesting progression towards violent extremism.\nUnderstand the importance of considering change\, clustering\, context and direction of travel when assessing concerns.\nIncrease confidence in recognising signs that an individual may be moving towards the justification\, glorification or preparation of violence.\n\nBOOK NOW \n*If you would like to become a member and access discounted rates for Sacpa CPD and events\, please click here. \n\nSpeaker: Juncal Fernandez-Garayzabal Gonzalez\, PhD\, Development & Program Manager at Counter Extremism Project and a fellow at the European Foundation for South Asian Studies (EFSAS).Ā  \nJuncal Fernandez-Garayzabal Gonzalez is a linguist by training\, her PhD dissertation analysed the parallels between recruitment mechanisms employed by human trafficking networks and extremist groups\, and based on results\, concluded that existing psychosocial programs aimed at preventing re-recruitment among survivors of human trafficking could be tailored to reduce recidivism among those seeking to leave extremist groups. Her research experience and insights were shaped while working at institutions Georgetown University\, Universidad Pontificia Comillas (Madrid)\, the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies and UNICEF Spain. She also gained first-hand experience in understanding conflicts\, forced migrations\, organized crime\, security\, and peacebuilding while in Latin America and Africa\, where she provided psychosocial support to internally displaced populations and other victims of extremism and violence in post- conflict settings. Since obtaining her PhD dissertation in 2018\, Juncal has mostly focused on developing her practitioner skills. She has designed and led nine projects funded by the United States government and other international bodies aimed at rehabilitating and reintegrating individuals involved in extremist groups (including foreign fighters) across the globe\, including the U.S.\, South and Central Asia\, the Middle East\, and the Balkan region. Only in the U.S.\, she has engaged with over 100 individuals in different stages of the radicalization process and worked with almost 70 individuals incarcerated for terrorism-related offenses. Her hands-on experience has provided her with a deep understanding of radicalization processes and how recruitment mechanisms have evolved over the past years.
