To book on to the Alerters Training please email Workforce.DevelopmentTeam@knowsley.gov.uk

Registration opens at 9.00am for 9.30am start

This workshop is recommended for all staff and volunteers in all organisations providing services to adults, children and families. AftaThought Training Consultants will present case scenarios of adult/child abuse using actors. Attendees will have the opportunity to question the actors in role about their action, or lack of action, in a particular case. The workshop promotes the message that whether you work with adults or with children it is the responsibility of all individuals to recognise and report abuse. The workshop considers barriers to whistle-blowing and addresses how these can be overcome.
