Safeguarding Adults - Training for Therapists with Karen Miller

Workshop: Safeguarding Adults - Training for Therapists

Description:

Using anonymised scenarios, we will look at the practical implications of recent policy and legislative changes.

We will explore applying thresholds and analysis of risks, understanding mental health and associated risks, (including suicidality, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, drug and alcohol dependency)

We will also cover liaising with key statutory agencies, using trauma informed practice, offering ongoing support and guidance.

Aims & Objectives:

To fully understand the thresholds for escalation of safeguarding and to understand the therapists role in keeping clients and their families safe.
