Clinical Safeguarding Supervision for Registered Managers and Care Staff

Clinical Safeguarding Supervision is when support is provided to staff who are working  with young people that may have safeguarding or child protection concerns. The support allows for staff to reflect on situations, so that they can have a fuller understanding and come to the most effective decision. The impact of helping front-line staff carry out better risk analysis and more insightful individual plans is higher quality care, and ultimately a reduction in risk.

How Does Our Service Adhere to Regulatory Standards?

Our experienced team takes pride in providing a service that is compliant with the  Children’s Home Regulations. Our Clinical Safeguarding Supervision service very much takes into account the 9 Quality Standards, so that each child can be supported to achieve important outcomes.  

Specifically, supervisors will be enabled to reflect on, understand, and manage their own feelings in these scenarios whilst also thinking about the correct responses for the child. In doing so, they will be able to tailor their responses effectively and ensure they have an understanding of the safeguarding culture of the home. This means that they would  know what to do if they found staff misusing or abusing their position to the detriment of a child.
