This practical 2.5 hour workshop shares best practice in a restorative approach to the handling of a safeguarding disclosure.
When a child or adult discloses a safeguarding concern, a golden opportunity can easily be missed if the response is insensitive. We will co-design the best approach to handling safeguarding disclosures, drawing on restorative tools and practice using real life scenarios. We will consider how best to speak about confidentiality and reflect on culturally sensitive practice in a safeguarding context. The format of the workshop will be very interactive and involve circle discussions, breakout room group work, and opportunities for skills practice.
Learning aims and objectives:
- Sharing best practice in responding to safeguarding disclosures restoratively including what not to do.
- An opportunity to practice restorative skills in situations when safeguarding issues arise.
- Consideration and skills practice on how to explain about confidentiality with a child or adult in the context of safeguarding.
- Reflecting on cultural considerations in safeguarding, including culturally sensitive practice.
The workshop will be facilitated by Colette Morgan and Pete Wallis, both highly experienced restorative practitioners and trainers in both child and adult contexts, with specialties in youth justice. Colette has also been one of the trainers for Oxfordshire Children Safeguarding Board for several years.
