The sessions will be delivered by David Shemmings OBE PhD, Emeritus Professor of Child Protection Research at the University of Kent and Visiting Professor of Child Protection Research at Royal Holloway, University of London *
Places on the training are available for anyone working with children, young people and adults at risk, who think that understanding how to be more curious or more effective in their decision making, will help them to achieve better, safer outcomes. That could be a volunteer running a drop-in for people looking for help at a community centre, a teacher supporting children who are struggling in class because of things that are happening for them at home, a health visitor/GP reflecting on how to deal with a disclosure of domestic abuse, a youth worker running a group for young people at risk of exploitation, or a social worker completing assessments; anyone who wants to be more confident or certain that they’re being as curious as they can be!
Leeds Professional Curiosity Champions
For some of those attending the training, this will also provide them the opportunity to be considered to become part of a team of Leeds Professional Curiosity Champions, soon to be established. Champions will support colleagues to become more curious in their everyday work, celebrating and championing professionally curious practice.
Those who feel they have the skills and the drive to be a Professional Curiosity Champion, are welcome to get in touch for more information via: lscp.info@leeds.go.uk
