This 2 and a half hour workshop, delivered by the Local Authority Designated Officers (for LBHF, RBKC & WCC) provides an introduction to the process by which allegations against professionals and volunteers are managed. Delegates will be guided through when they should consult and/or refer to the LADO services, and what the next steps in the process are. Delegates will also made aware of what their roles and responsibilities are. The workshop is suitable for all practitioners, but is especially relevant for managers, deputy managers, governors and trustees.

This workshop touches on some areas from the Safer Recruitment workshop but it is not a replacement for that workshop.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the workshop, delegates will:

• Understand the legal framework for safeguarding in a professional context and the role of the LADO

• Explore how allegations against professionals are managed

• Understand how to make a referral to the LADO and what information needs to be shared and considered.
