Trigger warning

The themes and content of the course can inevitably sometimes be disturbing. It is important that you are prepared for this and look after your own welfare, particularly when you watch or listen to the audio and visual material.

Remember:

• Safeguarding is an emotive topic, which may give rise to feelings such as shock, anger or sadness.
• It is important to manage your own feelings in order to free you up to act appropriately – professionally and in the best interests of the child, young person or adult at risk.
• Clarifying your feelings with a peer or professional may help.
• Awareness can bring up painful memories from our own past. Should this be the case, please ensure that you seek support from the resources and support available to you within your organisation or seek professional help.
