7. How to manage a child’s disclosure of abuse

This training was developed in response to requests from the children’s workforce and in partnership with the police. Initially aimed at designated safeguarding leads, their deputies and other safeguarding leaders, it actually provides practical guidance and advice on managing children’s disclosures of abuse that every member of the children’s workforce will find immensely useful in their practice. 

Key Outcomes 

• understand the key role that effective management of disclosure plays in safeguarding children; 

• become aware of professional responsibilities and limits regarding disclosure; 

• explore available evidence regarding disclosure; 

• practice safeguarding skills in order to effectively manage a child’s disclosure of abuse: what to say, what to ask and how to support the child; and

These outcomes can be adapted to suit the needs of your setting and can be delivered at a time that will suit you face to face at your chosen venue, or online. To book in-house training for your team contact: mandyparrytraining@gmail.com
