Why does safeguarding matter?
Safeguarding is simply about keeping people safe from harm and looking out for anyone who may be at risk of abuse.
In the UK, almost 2 million people face abuse each year, and so, as a therapist, you will encounter individuals affected by this.
Would you recognise signs of abuse in your clients?
Would you feel confident in listening, recording and reporting a safeguarding concern?
"Before the workshop, I had no idea that there were so many types of abuse and how many people were affected in some way. Attending this workshop made me realise I had probably overlooked warning signs in my clients. I now feel confident about what to be aware of, what to do when I have concerns and who to contact."
Jo S, Bowen Therapist
