Child Protection for Children and Young People with Disabilities
Disabled children face a higher risk of abuse and are less likely to receive the protection they need. This one-day course helps practitioners build confidence and skills in recognising and responding to safeguarding concerns, with a focus on child-centred practice.
Course aims:
- Recognise signs of abuse and neglect in disabled children
- Apply key research and best practice guidance
- Communicate effectively with children who have limited or no verbal communication
- Understand relevant legislation and policy in Wales
- Strengthen relationships with parents and carers
- Respond safely and appropriately to concerns
- Keep the child at the centre of safeguarding processes
Who Should Attend:
Practitioners and volunteers working directly or indirectly with children and young people, with safeguarding responsibilities.
