Advanced Safeguarding, Level 3 training with Encompass Safeguarding. Our comprehensive Level 3 course is designed for practical learning, specifically tailored for the complexities of International schools. It is essential that any senior staff who might be involved in a Child Protection enquiry into concerns of child abuse or an allegation of harm, completes the training.
Course Highlights:
In-depth coverage of the 4 types of child abuse with a focus on relevant topics within each, eg. for Neglect we explore Affluent Neglect.
Exploring Risk for those involved, considering cultural context, community pressures and reputational impact on school.
Introduction to Child Focused SAFE Interviewing © Techniques.
How to respond to Child Protection reports
Managing child protection enquiries, including how to sensitively address concerns with adults.
How It Works:
The independent learning component consists of short sections (videos and tasks) which are provided to participants 2 weeks before the live workshops, allowing flexibility for busy staff. The live workshops allow us to explore relevant case studies and openly discuss best practices and the complexities of context and culturally diverse communities. The Groups are kept small to ensure active participation and great discussions. Therefore there is a maximum of 16 in a live online workshop.
Learning Outcomes:
Analyse and interpret physical abuse indicators, focusing on bruising characteristics such as age, coloration, patterns, and contextual factors to differentiate between accidental injury and potential abuse.
Evaluate neglect cases, particularly affluent neglect, to understand cultural variations and societal norms, and explore effective responses and interventions within school settings.
Assess risks associated with child protection concerns, considering cultural contexts and thresholds, to develop comprehensive risk management strategies for safeguarding teams and school leaders.
Introduce Child Focused SAFE Interviewing © techniques to facilitate effective communication and engagement with children during safeguarding investigations, ensuring their voices are heard and respected.
Navigate challenging conversations with parents and other stakeholders sensitively and effectively, employing strategies to address concerns and promote collaborative problem-solving.
Develop structured plans for conducting child protection inquiries, incorporating best practices in policy adherence, information recording, and reporting procedures.
Participate in a collaborative case study exercise to apply theoretical knowledge and practical skills in managing child protection enquiries within a supportive group environment, guided by experienced facilitation.
Link theoretical concepts with real-world experiences in international school settings, drawing on the instructor's firsthand knowledge and expertise to enhance understanding and relevance.
