SUMMARY:SACPA/BSA – Working with Affluent Families: when neglect becomes a concern
DESCRIPTION:Course outline: \nThe phrase ‘affluent neglect’ 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\nAudience: Trustees\, Governors\, and Leaders with oversight of safeguarding. Colleagues in education\, social care\, youth services\, early help\, charity and third sector organisations with an interest and responsibility for safeguarding. Anyone looking to further develop their knowledge and understanding in this specific area of safeguarding \nPlatform: Zoom (online) – seminar \nCost: \n\nSACPA/BSA Member Rate: £135\nNon-member Rate: £270*\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\n

SUMMARY:SACPA/BSA Harmful behaviour risk assessments
DESCRIPTION:Course outline: \nSettings have been required to complete risk assessments for many years\, often for events or school trips. They have recently been encouraged to take a risk assessment view in many other areas.  \nThis seminar will look at taking a risk assessed approach to all forms of harmful behaviour in young people.

We will examine the range of harmful behaviours present in settings today and look at how to identify and respond to them. We will do this with reference to the latest version of Keeping Children Safe in Education and Ofsted’s review of sexual abuse in schools.  \nThe seminar will look at how to best respond when an individual case of harmful behaviour has been identified. It will also look at how settings can proactively risk assess and mitigate those risks for a range of likely harmful behaviours. \nTraining topics will include: \n\nIdentifying the range of harmful behaviours present in settings\, including harmful sexual behaviours. \nDiversity\, vulnerability and disproportionality: what we know from cohorts of harmers and harmed children & young people \nBest practice in assessment\, safety planning\, intervention and moving on \nRisk assessment for whole settings. How to mitigate risk. \n\nLearning outcomes: \n\nDelegates will have the most recent updates from evidence and practice to support their assessment and management of harmful behaviours \nDelegates will have information to identify harmful sexual behaviour and respond in proportionate ways \nDelegates will unpick why children and you people with additional needs and vulnerabilities are over-represented in those engaging in\, or affected by harmful behaviour \nDelegates will be able to make a risk assessment when an incident of harmful behaviour has occurred. \nDelegates will be able to consider a range of harmful behaviours and produce a risk assessment for their setting to mitigate these. \n\nAudience: All safeguarding practitioners and leaders working with children and young people \nPlatform: Zoom (online) – Day seminar \nCost: \n\nSACPA/BSA Member Rate: £175\nBSA Affiliate Member: £250\nNon-member Rate: £350*\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\n Speakers: \n \nClaire Dan\, Director of Safeguarding BSA Group and Director\, Sacpa \nClaire is Director of Safeguarding and Director\, Sacpa and leads on the provision of safeguarding advice and support to members and the development and delivery of CPD and safeguarding consultancy services.
