Safeguarding: Beyond escape hatches
Explore how to tackle safeguarding within our work as therapists. We will be looking at transactional analysis theories as well as best practices in other modalities' approaches.
Course content
Beginning the workshop with considering safeguarding as a concept, we will then move on to explore some of the key writings on safeguarding from a transactional analysis perspective. Following from this we will explore how other modalities tackle such an important area, before touching on social care safeguarding teams.
We will then explore what we can learn and implement from others' approaches and consider how these strategies can be utilised within the therapeutic community.
This workshop will consider some of the key TA theories around managing safeguarding within our work as psychotherapists, and look at the robustness of techniques.
