Safeguarding Workshop *New*


About the Course

Safeguarding is about noticing, speaking out, having conversations, and having the confidence to act if needed. The more we talk openly, with curiosity and courage about safeguarding, the better equipped we will be to make well-informed, good decisions confidently and potently. 

This training day will focus on your relationship with safeguarding. Bev Gibbons has over 30 years in a range of roles and explains that safeguarding works well when practitioners feel comfortable with making decisions, and don’t make these in isolation.

Time will be taken to explore what safeguarding evokes in you, how you respond to safeguarding issues and ethical dilemmas, and what sense you make of your responses. This will ground you in Adult functioning in relation to safeguarding decision-making.

Our Core Philosophy

At The Berne Institute we recognise that people come into TA training with widely differing experiences of clinical practice, theoretical knowledge and formal academic learning, and that they differ widely also in their current personal resources and skills. Our courses therefore honour the uniqueness of each individual’s learning and experience and their different learning styles, pace and areas of competence.

The philosophy and practice of Homonomy that respects our mutuality and interconnectedness has been recently integrated into the Berne Institute philosophy. The aim is to expand the focus in our theory and practice from individual change to include a focus on the wider implications of our work on the whole community and our planet.
