Hi, the 401 unit has supportive reading in it, right click on cwdc website's link and 'save target as' to your device & open there if it fails to open online xx

* sharing information is one of the most valuable ways children, young people, colleagues and famillies are safeguarded and protected. Knowledge of what that information is helps you to reflect on an incident, examine what happened, see who reacted in what ways, what the outcome was, plan for the future by exploring how to guard against any negatives should it happen again.

There's excellent reading in Sue Palmer's section in Foundations of playwork if you've access to a copy - amazon.co.uk xx

* will depend on what your setting does for sourcing & organising opportunities to chat - training, workshops, meetings, paperbased & electronic communications

* sharing positive experiences is easier than sharing negative ones. An enviroment that's sensitive/non judgemental, calm and supportive has the potential to encourage open discussion that impacts on everyones views, opinions and will go towards informing practice.

* listening and planning skills are what enables individual and groups to be heard. If you research 'active listening' and 'effective listening' it'll help

* this might be included within existing policies & procedures or give you the opportunity to revise them. Look for inclusions such as if an allegation were made, discloure of abuse, witnessing abuse, incidents of assault, records for injuries, complaints, a colleague experiences direct discrimination, the whistleblowing policy is used for indirect discrimination/poor practice.
