Extra Date Added: Safeguarding Adults At Risk of Harm

Event on: 2016-December 1st 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Across your organisation there will be many people who are taking responsibility for safeguarding. It’s everyone’s responsibility.

However, with the introduction of the Safeguarding Champion role, it is imperative that key leaders within your organisation come together to reflect upon how best they can:

  • monitoring patterns of alleged incidents, and their organisational/workforce response
  • review lessons learnt and consider policy implications
  • implement lessons learned into practice and build the capacity, and increased confidence of their workforce in responding appropriately.

This one day seminar will unpick the role of the Safeguarding Champion and offer participants the opportunity of exploring scenarios that have resulted in Serious Case Reviews.

Facilitated by Joyce McKee, Regional Safeguarding Officer (NIASP) and Joan Maughan, Independent Chair, Norfolk Safeguarding Adults Board and member of the National Network of Safeguarding Board Chairs.

By the end of the seminar participants will:

  • understand the key principles of the new policy and social context of Safeguarding Adults at risk of harm
  • understand the role of the Adult Safeguarding Champion (ASC) within the context of new policy and procedures for Northern Ireland
  • examine the challenges of the ASC role through actual case studies and how positive outcomes can be achieved for individuals
  • determine how individual organisations can implement the policy and procedures and support the development of the ASC role
  • explore the opportunities for organisations to raise awareness with the public, their professional networks and their wider constituency within their communities.
