Mind Your Language
This short interactive session highlights the impact that the language we use has on safeguarding culture and our ability to effectively safeguard children.
Attendees are challenged to consider the impact that the language they use can have on key areas including a child’s self-identity and development; their ability to assess and meet a child’s needs; and how perpetrators of abuse are viewed and responded to.
Attendees will be supported to review the language that they use and identify appropriate alternatives as well as ways that they will proactively influence safeguarding culture through language.
Delegates who have attended this webinar have said;
“I have a new appreciation of the way language can be used to dehumanise an individual or group of people. I really enjoyed it, the trainer was knowledgeable, and the subject was interesting.”
“One of my favourite training/educational sessions EVER in my social work training so far.“
“This session was very informative and great for reflective practice.”
“Really useful, fired me up!”
The Mind Your Language session is available to book through NWG’s Eventbrite page but can also be commissioned for your organisation or service. If you would like to discuss how this session can support your working practice, please get in touch with [email protected]
