You will not be permitted to run this course unless every facilitator has completed the full online training provided. You must always use the branded training and promotional materials provided and you may not charge for this course.

Safeguarding

Facilitating Real Parenting comes with key responsibilities in terms of safeguarding children and vulnerable adults, which all group facilitators must be aware of.

There is a legal duty on anyone working with children to raise any concerns about a child’s welfare with the appropriate person. (Working Together to Safeguard Children, July 2018, updated Feb 2019)

Organisations who use the Spurgeons’ Real Parenting programme are expected to have a safeguarding policy in place and an identified safeguarding lead, who will take the lead role to ensure the organisation are fulfilling their safeguarding obligations and to notify the appropriate agency if any concerns are raised that a child or vulnerable adult may be at risk. For example if a parent makes a disclosure that indicates a child may have suffered or is likely to suffer significant harm then the setting safeguarding lead should be contacted immediately and further action taken to safeguard the child, including consultation with children’s social care.

Further guidance regarding agency responsibilities to safeguard children can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/working-together-to-safeguard-children–2

Spurgeons advise that all staff facilitating Real Parenting are also able to access safeguarding and child protection training, which may be online.

Spurgeons is unable to provide safeguarding advice or guidance for any issues which may arise as a consequence of the Real Parenting sessions. Safeguarding and child protection matters must be dealt with according to the statutory guidance and organisation safeguarding policy and procedures.

The course information has been supplied to your organisation free of charge and there will be no payment required for delivering this course. However, if you do wish to donate or fundraise to Spurgeons by way of thanks or giving back then any support would be greatly received. Please visit the ‘Spurgeons’ website for more information.
