This in-person training event is a great opportunity to learn from experts and network with fellow professionals.

Aims of the Course:

• To provide a basic awareness of safeguarding concerns that you are likely to come into contact with, in the context of counselling.
• To cover legislation, legal definitions, categories & signs and indicators of abuse for both children & adults (including domestic violence) so counsellors feel confident in identifying a safeguarding concern. This meets the standard of a Level 2 Safeguarding Course.
• To explore & reflect on the impact of safeguarding concerns on the therapist, the client & how you may wish to respond to this in a counselling context.
• To provide local contact lists, helpful tools to use in a safeguarding context.
• At the end of the course attendees should have an understanding of what safeguarding is in the context of their role, their potential responsibilities/ response and tools to support them in practice.
• The training is interactive and encourages participation & reflection so attendees leave with a sense of their own stance in this area!
