Safeguarding is now talked about a great deal by those working in the frontline with children and adults at risk as well as the media and politicians. However, making it real and making it happen is not so easy.

In recent years we have designed and run many short training workshops for different local authority staff in the Midlands. This could be for home care and enablement workers, reception and customer service staff, housing, environmental services and licensing as well as planning, community safety and sport and leisure.

Here are some quotes from the participants and the commissioners:

“… learnt a lot about safeguarding as I was not sure what was involved …” Home care worker

“… it was very relevant since my team has a lot of face to face interaction with service care users …” Enablement team leader

“ … the trainer has a breadth & wealth of knowledge & is so flexible on dates & adapting material for different staff …” L & D Business Partner, Borough Council

“    the trainer knows her subject & is passionate about it; she manages to cover a difficult topic in an emotive but not emotional way …” L & D Officer, District Council

Why not consider using some of our workshops for your council?
