This bitesize session will introduce volunteers that support community groups within South Gloucestershire to identify what safeguarding adults is, how to recognise an adult at risk and what to do if abuse is disclosed or suspected.

This session can also be delivered ‘in house’ to your group either virtually via Zoom or Face to Face as Covid restrictions allow. For more information about this please email hrworkforcedevelopment@southglos.gov.uk  or cfry@caringfootsteps.co.uk

This meeting is for schools in South Gloucestershire.

This informative day covers key themes relating to your service delivery and reputation. We introduce you to tools which enable simple strategic analysis. These tools will help you examine the different levels of power and interest people have to influence and shape your service and the value your team creates for the council, communities and customers. We consider the benefits of partnership working and using networks to enhance the work of the council and the value that comes from working with people.

We will use change theory to bring to life and make sense of how people respond to change and what they need from you as a manager. You will explore what happens psychologically when people experience or resist change so that you can adapt, pace change and provide support. We will then consider how your team can make the most effective use of resources available to enhance your service and value for money. This day offers simple tools, techniques and models to manage change well and provide the best customer service possible.

This day is supported with online material that will give participants additional content to focus on their main priorities in their service areas and well as content to return to at a later date.

Costs:  External Delegates - £95
           South Glos Council Employees - no charge

This session is designed for workers who need to: Know about the introduction of the Signs of Safety framework in the council and partner agencies, and understand the basic concepts of Signs of Safety to assist them in their job role. This 3-hour session is relevant to employees who: - will not be using the Signs of Safety approach directly with families, but will see it in practice and need to understand its simplest form - need an introduction to the approach before they go on to do more specific role-relevant training. These half-day workshops are provided at no charge to South Glos Children’s Partnership partner agencies. As with all the local inter-agency courses though, a 'no show' on the day will result in a £30 per person 'penalty' fee to the agency.

If an employee needs to learn more about using the Signs of Safety model in their job role, they will also want to book themselves onto a 'Signs of Safety In Practice' workshop. These run regularly during afternoons on the same days as the morning 'awareness' workshops. Delegates need to book on those afternoon workshops separately.

Delegates must have already attended the Signs of Safety Awareness session before booking on this workshop. They can either have done that on an earlier date or by attending the morning of this course date.

This 'SoS In Practice' session offers the opportunity to explore and practice the model. It is aimed at the Safeguarding Lead within a single setting, team or organisation: employees actively involved in assessments, CP Conferences, Children in Need meetings, such as Designated CP Leads in Schools, relevant operational managers or practitioners in Early Years settings, Health and the voluntary sector. Following the course those practitioners will want to think about how they then ensure others in their work-setting get a basic awareness of Signs of Safety, for example via a short internal cascade meeting for key staff etc. These half-day workshops are provided at no charge to South Glos Children’s Partnership partner agencies. As with all the local inter-agency courses though, a 'no show' on the day will result in a £30 per person 'penalty' fee to the agency.
