Safeguarding Legislation for Counsellors

Essential Knowledge for Ethical & Safe Practice
With Katy Parsons | Full-Day CPD Workshop

​

Safeguarding is a core professional responsibility—and yet many counsellors feel uncertain about what the law really requires of them. This in-depth, practical workshop will give you the knowledge and confidence to make ethical, informed safeguarding decisions, whether you work with adults, young people, or both.

​

Ideal for both qualified and trainee counsellors, as well as supervisors, this session explores your legal duties, your role in multi-agency processes, and how to work safely with risk while protecting your clients—and yourself.

 

You’ll explore:
✅ Key safeguarding legislation for children, adults, and vulnerable groups
✅ Your legal and ethical role as a counsellor in safeguarding procedures
✅ PREVENT awareness and your responsibilities under current guidance
✅ What happens after you report a concern—can you escalate or follow up?
✅ How to apply safeguarding knowledge to real client work

 

This is more than just theory—you’ll leave with greater clarity, confidence, and a stronger ethical foundation.
