Masterclass: Designated safeguarding officer training

Event details

This one-day masterclass, facilitated by Glenys Hurt-Robson, Associate Facilitator, The Athena Programme, will support you to develop your role and responsibility as a Designated Safeguarding Officer / Designated Safeguarding Lead / Named Professional for safeguarding in your organisation. It will enable you to understand one or both of the child and adult abuse investigation processes under Working Together to Safeguard Children (2018) and / or the Care Act 2014.

This course will connect emotionally with your safeguarding core. It will stimulate and support you as you reflect on the key responsibilities of the role and how these relate to your organisational context. Against a backdrop of current safeguarding legislation (Children Act 2004, Care Act 2014) it will help you examine your own role and the roles of others in the multi-agency world of protecting and supporting children and adults at risk. The skills and knowledge gained will raise your awareness of current risks and allow you to proactively develop your safeguarding role.

The course will assist in building your resilience in dealing with allegations against staff and in-depth understanding of how to protect and support those involved.

The content is based on current NHS Intercollegiate Documents - Roles and Competencies for Safeguarding and pitched at NHS level 4 for named professionals.
