Free Taster Session: Safeguarding & Self-Neglect Training

Join us for a short introduction to our brand new two-day CPD accredited training, Safeguarding & Self-Neglect, launching in September.

This free taster session offers a brief overview of how understanding behaviour through a trauma-informed and nervous system lens can transform safeguarding practice, from reactive responses to calmer, more relational approaches.

We will introduce key ideas from the full course, including how trauma, executive dysfunction and survival responses impact behaviour, communication and engagement in safeguarding contexts, and how professionals can respond in ways that promote safety, regulation and connection.

Perfect for professionals in health, social care, safeguarding and education who want a clearer insight into the training before booking.
