On 6th March 2012 ASEND held the first of two workshops for Advisors – exploring safeguarding issues that are specific to disabled children and young people. This subject isn’t well covered by generic safeguarding training, but is central to the work of ASEND Advisors in schools.
Helen Elliott and Rodney Grey, from Wardell Associates, took us through recent legislation and research into the increased likelihood of abuse of disabled children. Myths were exploded and resources highlighted alongside some very open discussions focusing on personal experiences.
If you would like to attend the next workshop – on 22nd May 2012 at a North London venue – then please get in touch at office@asend.co.uk
