Description

In this episode of the Training 4 Influence podcast Tammy sits down with Taye Training Facilitator, Carol Woodhead, to discuss her five key learning points from the Safeguarding Responder course.

Outside of facilitating training with Taye, Carol is a parenting support manager for a local authority with over 18 years of experience in safeguarding roles. Her current role sees her co-coordinating and designing the local authority's parenting offer available whilst training, coaching and mentoring staff, volunteers and partner agencies.

This episode will be briefly covering:

1. What is a responder?
2. The national safeguarding framework
3. The safeguarding responsibilities of a responder
4. Reporting to the local authority
5. Emotional resilience

This course has been developed with the input of managers, based on the information they needed to fulfill their legislative responsibilities and to provide the best possible service to their customer group.

It builds on the information provided in the safeguarding awareness course. However, it has a more strategic focus by considering the needs of organisations, managers and designated safeguarding officers when undertaking their respective safeguarding responsibilities.

Course Objectives

• Values and attitudes
• Legislation and guidance and how it relates to your organisation’s policy for responding to safeguarding concerns

To provide context for those listening in the future, as this episode is published we are currently around six weeks into the COVID-19 UK lockdown. Schools are closed, many employees are working from home and hospitals are at capacity.

While this podcast has been in the plans for a while, COVID-19 has changed the timetable of its delivery. Instead of starting by delving into the Training 4 Influence methodology, we realise it is more important to start this podcast with a series delivering bitesize learning, derived from our induction courses, for those frontline professionals needing further support during these times.

Frontline professionals regarded as 'critical workers' are currently working under unprecedented circumstances - with staff levels falling and government regulations changing daily, additional support is vital as many new, inexperienced or recently retired people are being asked to take on key roles.
