Development and coaching for Designated Safeguarding Officers – Dec
December 7, 2023 @ 10:00 am – 12:30 pm
The role of the Designated Safeguarding Officer at times may feel overwhelming and lonely, with little time to respond to our own personal and professional needs.
Facilitated by an experienced DSL the session will provide a safe space for those in a DSO / DSL role to discuss challenges they may be facing and share practice with others in a similar role.
This session will cover:
- Understanding and knowing how to respond to challenges that may occur in a DSO role
- Resources and best practice – shared by like-minded sector workers and specialists
- Developing a self-care strategy
