Advanced Training on Sexual Safety for Managers, Supervisors and Healthcare Leaders
Friday 27th June 2025 9:30am-1pm online
Suitable for managers, supervisors and leadership whether you are clinical or non-clinical.
Course outline:
- First Disclosure Training: A detailed look at how a survivor may present, what their needs are and how to meet these during a first disclosure. We use a case to model this encounter and work through the steps, providing you with a structure to use with recommendations for language and phrases.
- Responding to a report of sexual violence: This is the next step on from first disclosure. We use cases to work through the options to support a survivor and the pathway to raise a concern. We will equip you with knowledge of reporting systems, legal requirements for information sharing, how to provide support, identify risk, and support the survivor to make an informed decision about whether to progress a disclosure.
- Changing the Healthcare Culture: A discussion of the systems and strategies that need to be in place to prevent sexual misconduct in the healthcare workplace, and the new legal duty to prevent sexual harassment.
