Overall aim

The aim of this course is to raise awareness of and develop strategies for protecting disabled children.

Intended learning outcomes

By the end of the course, participants will:

  • identify the factors that make disabled children more vulnerable to harm
  • develop an understanding of safe practice in the provision of intimate care
  • examine  strategies that  professionals can use to minimise the vulnerability of disabled children
  • develop an action plan to change local practice

Who should attend?

This new, one-day training course will enable participants to recognise key vulnerability factors and to identify strategies and ways of working to better protect disabled children and young people so that they can achieve the "Staying Safe" outcome envisaged for all children.

This course will be useful to managers and practitioners in health, social care, education and voluntary sector settings.
