Course content:

This seminar is developed at intermediate level in the Sacpa academy CPD offer.

In safeguarding and child protection, the promotion of specific help or support to address a concern is commonly referred to as an intervention.  Early intervention, or early help, is frequently referred to when a family or child needs support and is the recommended action rather than waiting for a situation to escalate.

This seminar is developed at intermediate level on the Sacpa academy CPD offer.  It will use case studies to demonstrate the recommended process of implementing, managing, reporting and closing interventions and support to promote the best outcomes for the person/people receiving the help, those delivering it, and all other parties within the setting.  Delegates will be engaged in discussion, feedback and groupwork using case study.

Training topics will include: 

• Assessment of the safeguarding need and implementation of strategies
• Managing, reporting and decision making
• Exit strategies
• Exploring professional boundaries.
