Why it’s time to increase our confidence to get more curious...
Do you as part of your role assess the quality of the safeguarding response? If so, you are playing an important role as a leader of sector led improvement. You are more influential than you may know, & that’s why I believe those who assess the safeguarding response should be skilled up & aware of how to operate with increased curiosity about how people from minoritised groups experience services.
I think there’s more we can do here.
I have ideas on this. They are beyond the scope of my message for today, but I do have a free training offering which may be useful if you feel the same way. Full details are at the end of this newsletter.
As a First Step...
The terms ’diversity’, inclusion’ & ‘cultural competence’ appear regularly in analysis, reviews & strategic publications. I’m not sure we always have full clarity on what we mean when we use these terms, & it’s time to have the conversation about this. Moreover, it’s rare to see robust challenge which names bias which may be inbuilt into the safeguarding response as a result of personal bias, bias in systems & processes or institutional bias.?
If you are ready to take ownership of this, I will join you on this journey. The SILP School mission is to create a ‘tidal wave of positive impact’ in reviews. This may mean operating outside of the comfort zone.?
Are you In??
I am offering you the opportunity to explore analysis of potential adultification bias and inequality in the safeguarding response with Jahnine Davis, Director of ListenUp research. Join us on Wednesday 3rd May, 1.00-2.30pm for ‘How to Analyse Adultification Bias & Inequality in the Safeguarding Response’. Click here for the details & to reserve your seat.
**Important Update**
Due to high demand, we have added a summer intake for SILP School,
SILP School is open for enrolment.
Are you an independent reviewer or in-house practitioner who is looking for a more effective, proportionate review practice?
Whether you are new to reviews or established and ready to grow your practice around reviews, SILP School will challenge you to execute at the highest level.?
SILP School is an innovative 18-week interactive video-based training programme that teaches best practice in reviews and doors are now open for the next intake.
SILP explores the professional’s view of the case at the time the events took place. It analyses significant events and deals not only with what happened but why it happened. SILP can show us what affected the practitioner’s actions and decision-making at the time and what needs to change.
SILP School is designed to change your thinking around where we can achieve more by doing less in reviews and requires you to understand what it is like being involved in a review from different viewpoints.
