Summary
This module will focus on the interprofessional practice of safeguarding, providing an understanding of professional roles and responsibilities. Participants will attend a three-hour workshop where in small interprofessional teams they will critically analyse a case study, identifying potential safeguarding issues and determining the appropriate next steps. They will then feedback their team analysis to a panel of professional safeguarding experts and have the opportunity to ask questions to clarify their professional roles and responsibilities.
The workshop will allow participants to explore their professional knowledge of safeguarding and gain a better understanding of their roles and responsibilities. They will also have a better understanding of the complexities of multi-agency working and communication, which is a key part of effective safeguarding. By the end of the module, participants will have a better understanding of how to evaluate a situation to determine if safeguarding is needed and know the next steps they should take. They will have developed their ability to collaborate on a multidisciplinary plan within an interprofessional team.
