Safeguarding Training
2024-03-28 18:30 - 20:30 | Geilsland Estate Studio, Geilsland Estate, Wardrop Street, Beith, Beith, KA15 1HD
Free safeguarding course coming to Geilsland!

We all have a responsibility to help keep children, young people, and vulnerable adults safe in our community. Beith Community Development Trust understands that many people in local communities worry from time to time about potential abuse, harm, or exploitation of someone in the local area. It can be confusing to understand as it is not always easy to know exactly what to do when you do see or hear something of concern.

Organisations like Beith Trust, which consistently work with children, young people and adults, must ensure that they have safeguarding policies and procedures in place and be able to respond to child or adult protection concerns. It is important to us that we offer an opportunity to adults (16yrs +) at the heart of our local communities and ensure those who take part learn foundation skills that increase confidence in responding to, or in reporting a concern. This free evening session will be held at Geilsland Estate in Beith and delivered by Caron McLean, former Head of Protection at the University of Strathclyde.

Caron McLean

Caron lived in Beith for over 40 years and left school to help in her parent’s garage (Gerrie’s) before graduating and spending many years carrying out child and adult protection work in local authority areas across Scotland. Caren brings a wealth of knowledge and experience and will take time to work through the issues that worry you the most about children or adults who may have been harmed or are at risk. Caren will provide guidance on what we can all do to help and will work with you to answer questions like “Can a child can be left home alone?”, or “How would you know if an adult is being neglected or abused?”.

Times, dates and bookings

The session is set in a relaxed, informal style for learning that welcomes all. By the end of the session, everyone who comes along will have strengthened existing skills or will, for the first time, know how they can help to get it right in protecting people in the place we all live or work.

Who should Attend:

Parents and caregivers

Educators and school staff

Community leaders and volunteers

Anyone who works with children or vulnerable adults

Anyone interested in learning safeguarding techniques

Registration and attendance are completely free and we’ll have teas and coffees available throughout the evening. Register your spot on this course by completing the ticket registration below!

We’ll be capturing the magic of both the jam sessions and the showcase performance with regular photos and videos. If you prefer not to be photographed or filmed, please notify us well in advance. For those without their own instruments, we have limited spare equipment available, with the requirement that participants have a basic level of experience and the instruments are returned after the week.

For any questions or queries, feel free to reach out to us at 01505 228141 or contact our music project lead, Tom, at tom.williams@beithtrust.org.
