How to safeguard during one-to-one interventions

This training is designed for staff, SENCOs and DSLs who are delivering one-to-one emotional wellbeing interventions in schools and services.

While all staff receive safeguarding training, working therapeutically introduces additional responsibilities and ethics around confidentiality.

This course provides a practice-focused guide to:

  • Holding confidentiality safely in 1:1 work

  • Responding to disclosures calmly and ethically

  • Making safeguarding decisions without interrupting trust

  • Understanding thresholds in context

  • Protecting the child, the practitioner, and the organisation

It supports practitioners to navigate safeguarding  within the realities of therapeutic-style practice, whilst maintaining statutory guidance.
