Leading Culture Change in Safeguarding - PG Cert Virtual Taster Event
Valuing Safeguarding Expertise: Developing a culture of openness in safeguarding work
Wednesday 14th April 5.30 – 6.15pm
Safeguarding children and young people can be a lonely business at times when we feel isolated or out of step with colleagues. Although no-one should be safeguarding alone, sometimes it is hard to share our thoughts and concerns with others. Sometimes the work we do in this arena is undervalued and unrecognised because of the confidential nature of the work and the fact that success is qualified by the thought that a child has been hurt and so how can success really be celebrated?
This taster session affords an opportunity to discuss these issues and to consider how we can develop a culture of vigilance which includes openness in talking about the challenges faced by professionals who safeguard.
Come and join us as your voice counts.
The event is led by Rosie Walker, senior lecturer and course leader of the Postgraduate Certificate in Leading Culture Change in Safeguarding. As part of this taster event, Rosie will explain the part this degree and its students can play in shaping future safeguarding work. Students on the course reflect the diversity of the programme - representing international care, women and BAME professionals, and housing. It has engaged robustly with the current challenge in sporting organisations to 'up their game' regards safeguarding.
The taster event will include direct engagement with leaders within sporting organisations who are also current students on the course.
