Spotlight Sessions
The WSCP safeguarding Spotlight Sessions are part of our training and learning offer to professionals.
Spotlight Sessions are short single topic safeguarding briefings delivered virtually via Microsoft Teams. Sessions will be delivered 3 or 4 times, and briefings on different topics will be delivered throughout the year. Please note, these are short briefing sessions not training, therefore attendance certificates will not be provided.
Systemic Practice Spotlight Sessions
As we approach 2.5 years since the first Cohort of Systemic Practice training was delivered, and nearly 800 professionals having attended the 2 days training we are at the point of embedding the model in practice. In order to do this we will be offering a number of themed Spotlight Sessions over the next 6 months with a view to spending time thinking about how some of the Systemic concepts impact on our work with children and families.
The first themed Spotlight Sessions will be looking at Graces and Power:
- Explore Social Graces and how they underpin and shape our view of the world
- Raise awareness of power and privilege
- Think about how these systemic concepts relate to our work with children and families and what we can do differently
