An afternoon of innovative delivery of safeguarding training – POVA Level 2

The protection of vulnerable adults against psychological, sexual, emotional, physical and financial abuse is powerfully explored in this unique interactive workshop.

Sessions are designed around carefully researched case studies exploring situations which have led to the abuse of adults. Drama and discussion are used to approach the issues faced by frontline staff and managers in an accessible way, inspiring and shaping new conversations about how best to respond in situations where adults are at risk. The training is open to all care staff (including managers, seniors, etc.) who need to complete or update their level 2 training.
  
Drawing directly from National and Local Safeguarding Policies and Procedures for Adults, Dignity in Care guidance and the Serious Case Review into the death of Steven Hoskin, the three-hour Cardiff Council workshop (run by Afta Thought) develops essential awareness of the individual roles and responsibilities of all staff and managers with regard to:

    
– Recognising Abuse
– Reporting Abuse
– Preventing Abuse

Cardiff Council is passionate about the live experience and the skilled actors and facilitators create scenarios which challenge perceptions and communicate critical messages with lasting impact.

    
By creating a safe, dynamic training environment, a range of perspectives and alternative outcomes can be explored. The goal is to provide frontline staff and managers with the knowledge and confidence to ensure nothing is missed in their day to day exposure to potential abuse situations.

The training is for staff and managers working within the following areas:
– Adult Service Providers
– Care Homes
– Health
– Voluntary & Independent Sector
– Housing
