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.
