Background
In recent years there have been growing concerns around violence that children and young people are being exposed to which can go on to have a long-term impact on their health and wellbeing.
This course is an opportunity to hear from a variety of experts on the different forms of violence that children and young people are currently facing as well as an opportunity to be in conversation with peers about best practice when its impact is seen in clinical practice. The course will also focus on violence between children and young people.
Working with young children in Community Paediatrics, this course helped me understand the wider forms of violence that can affect them.
Course aim
To equip paediatricians with an understanding of how violence (in various forms) impacts on children and young people, leading to safeguarding issues that may be observed in a clinical setting, and the skills to address them.
Extremely knowledgeable speakers from a wide background.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, delegates will be able to:
- Describe national themes of different forms of violence (such as gender-based violence and gang violence including where children and young people are perpetrators) which may have safeguarding implications
- Recognise signs demonstrating impact of violence in children and young people within the clinical setting
- Outline how to support children and young people affected by violence including signposting to relevant organisations
I feel more confident recognising early signs and having sensitive conversations, so I can better support families and work closely with other agencies to keep children safe.
Audience
- Paediatric trainees (all levels)
- SAS and locally employed doctors
- Consultant paediatricians
Because of the focus on UK policy and practice, this course is best suited to paediatricians working in the UK.
Please also ensure you are up-to-date with standard safeguarding policies and procedures as these will not be covered in the course.
The best part of the course was learning real life examples that helped me understand how to spot and respond to different types of violence.
