BPC Workshop: Safeguarding in the Consulting Room

Description

Date: Saturday, 9 December 2023

Time: 10.00 – 16.00

Online, Zoom Meetings

This event is for current BPC Registrants only.

As part of our series of small events focussing on professional practice, we are pleased to offer a bespoke safeguarding workshop for psychoanalytic practitioners.

This workshop offers the opportunity for BPC Registrants to explore safeguarding protocols and tools in the context of the clinical situation. The workshop does not constitute a certified training course; instead it will be an opportunity to explore our responsibilities and the conflicts and ethical dilemmas we can be faced with where there are safeguarding concerns.

Case study material will provide opportunities to discuss scenarios relevant to the private and public sectors as applies to both adult and child practitioners. We will work in small discussion groups as well as the larger group, exploring themes such as responsibility to third parties, ways of managing risk to others and issues of confidentiality.

This is a small, online only event with limited spaces and will not be recorded.
