    Course overview

    Eligibility: This course is for South Gloucestershire Council Adult Social Care Staff only.

    During this workshop, participants will explore the core professional skills to make confident and defensible decisions about risk and relate this to safeguarding practices.

    Participants will recognise and challenge the importance of legal literacy in relation to working with risk and how case law can inform risk enablement in practice. They will also explore how diversity, intersectionality and power can impact risk and how to create a positive risk culture.

    Research in Practice online workshops use a range of methods to enable active learning. This includes presentations, breakout room discussions, working with case study scenarios, filmed resources, podcasts, individual reflection time and large group discussions. Workshops run for six hours and include a morning and afternoon comfort break and lunch break. 

    Please Note: In order to attend you must have a Research in Practice account. If you don't already have an account you can create an account using your South Glos work email address.
