SUMMARY:Sacpa / BAISIS virtual conference: Safeguarding international students

SUMMARY:Training: Ensuring best practice in safeguarding interventions
DESCRIPTION:Course outline \nIn safeguarding and child protection\, the provision of specific help or support to address a concern is commonly referred to as an intervention. Early intervention\, or early help\, is frequently referred to when a family or child needs support and is the recommended action rather than waiting for a situation to escalate. Timely support can be increasingly preventative and protective. \nSuccessful intervention needs careful monitoring and reporting and should be undertaken with the understanding that the intervention is temporary. There needs to be a recognised point where the intervention has been a success or a failure\, and another process undertaken. Depending on the type of intervention put in place\, there also needs to be a clear understanding of the professional boundaries for all involved\, especially in the cases where an individual child/young person is being given support. \nThis training session will use case studies to demonstrate to delegates the recommended process of implementing\, managing\, reporting and closing interventions and support to promote the best outcomes for the person/people receiving the help\, those delivering it\, and all other parties within the setting. \n  \nTraining topics will include: \n\nAssessment of the safeguarding need and implementation of strategies\nManaging\, reporting and decision making\nExit strategies\nExploring professional boundaries.\n\n  \nLearning outcomes: \n\nUnderstanding safeguarding interventions and how these can vary\nIncreased understanding of the need to monitor and report interventions/help\nRecommended methodology for implementing and withdrawing interventions.\n\n  \nAudience: \n\nAll practitioners working with children\, young people or vulnerable individuals\, DSL/DSO\, DDSL\, Safeguarding Manager/Lead.\n\n  \nCost: \n\nMember rate: £100\nNon-member rate: £200*\n\n*If you would like to become a member and access discounted rates for Sacpa CPD and events\, please click here.\n \nSpeaker: Dale Wilkins\, Senior Director\, BSA and BSA Group\nDale is a child protection specialist\, with over 30 years’ experience working in the education sector.

SUMMARY:Sacpa webinar: Cuckooing
DESCRIPTION:Course content: \nThis webinar examines the issue of cuckooing and explores the link between cuckooing and serious organised crime\, in particular County Lines Methodology. A complex\, problematic issue which is often misunderstood or viewed through a narrow lens\, this webinar examines why cuckooing must be explored in the context of safeguarding and child protection and is therefore important learning for anyone who works to safeguard and support children\, young people and vulnerable adults. Cuckooing targets the vulnerable and increases the likelihood of exposure to other forms of violence and abuse. \nTraining topics include: \n\nWhat is cuckooing?\nHow is cuckooing linked to County Lines and other serious organised crime models?\nWhat are the indicators of cuckooing activity?\nWho is vulnerable to cuckooing?\nWhy do we need to consider cuckooing in the context of child protection?\nWhat are the risks and harms commonly experienced by children and adults in a cuckooed context?\nWhat are the typologies of cuckooing and how do they impact on children\, young people and vulnerable adults?\nHow does adopting a public health approach provide an effective response to this issue?\n\nLearning outcomes: \nUpon completion of the course delegates will: \n\nHave a comprehensive understanding of this complex issue and be able to understand and explain the often-inextricable links between cuckooing and county lines\nUnderstand why cuckooing must always be explored in the context of child protection\nUnderstand why cuckooing requires a multi-agency\, public health approach as opposed by a police-led response\nFeel more confident to talk to people about cuckooing and the associated risks and harms.\n\nAudience: \n\nAll practitioners working with children\, young people or vulnerable adults\, DSL/DSO\, DDSL\, Safeguarding Manager/Lead.\n\nCost: \n\nMember rate: £60\nMember rate (additional attendee): £15\nNon-member rate: £120*\n\n*If you would like to become a member and access discounted rates for Sacpa CPD and events\, please click here.\n \nTrainer: Nikki Holmes\, Founder\, Safer Together \nAfter graduating with a degree in Criminology and Psychology\, Nikki began her career as a police officer with West Midlands Police where she enjoyed a variety of different roles. This is where her passion for working with and supporting vulnerable young people began. In 2008\, and in response to increases in youth violence in Coventry\, she wrote and co-produced with young people “Get My Point” a piece of youth drama which successfully contributed to the reduction in weapon assisted crime. This work saw her presented with a Chief Constable’s Commendation. \nHowever\, it was Nikki became an Offender Manager working with some of the most prolific and complex young offenders that she identified that most\, if not all of children and young people known to the Criminal Justice System\, had a variety of vulnerabilities and unmet need. The recognition of the victim offender overlap resulted in a career change\, moving from policing into the field of substance misuse. \nAs the service manager of a young person’s substance misuse service in Warwickshire\, Nikki developed a number of pathways to improve service provision and support for children who were not actively misusing substances themselves\, but were nonetheless impacted by substance misuse due to having a parent or sibling with a substance dependency. This work was recognised by the Care Quality Commission as being innovative practice which should be replicated nationally. \nNikki went on to work for the Care Quality Commission in 2017 as a Children’s Services Inspector. In this role\, she contributed to and led a number of national reviews\, such as Children Looked After and Safeguarding (CLAS) reviews\, Joint Targeted Area Inspections (JTAI’s) and Local Area Special Educational Needs and Disability Inspections (LA SENDs). She also lent her expertise in the fields of Safeguarding and SEND to develop a number of thematic reviews such as the Control and Restraint in Children’s Home review which is awaiting publication. She remains a bank inspector for the commission. \nIn 2020 Nikki founded and launched Safer Together\, her own training and consultancy enterprise. Safer Together was commissioned in September by Coventry and Warwickshire CCG and Coventry Local Authority Public Health to lead on a Child Exploitation Project on their behalf. Safer Together recognises the challenges associated with navigating the current complexities of the safeguarding landscape and is on hand to support statutory and non-statutory organisations with any aspect of training and consultancy related to child safeguarding and SEND. \n \n  \nBook now
