When: 9 Aug 2021 - 10 Aug 2021 Dates: This workshop will be held over two days, on Monday 9th and Tuesday 10th August from 9.30am-1pm BST. This workshop is being offered to share Good Practice in Safeguarding and to raise awareness of our legal responsibilities to ensure that in offering mindfulness-based courses, retreats and supervision we’re attending comprehensively to the safety of the people we are working with. The good practice requirements in mindfulness-based teaching set out the need for conducting an orientation and assessment process with potential participants, in order to consider whether making the journey through an 8 week course or a retreat will be a safe and wise choice for each person. Some of the people taking part in a mindfulness-based courses/retreats – and those associated with them – may be vulnerable in other ways, however, including by being at risk of experiencing abuse, harm and neglect. This workshop will raise awareness of our role in safeguarding the adults and children and young people that we, and those we are supervising, are in connection with.
