About the Qualification

Jonathan McKinney will lead this interactive training event which will explore the increasingly complex challenges faced by staff and volunteers in safeguarding children, young people, and adults.

Jonathan retired as a Detective Constable from Dorset Police in November 2019 after a 29-year career mostly specialising in investigating serious crimes against children and vulnerable adults and all aspects of safeguarding. He qualified as a trainer in 2004 and went on to combine investigation with training multi-agency audiences safeguarding awareness and practice.

What will the event cover?

These include County Lines, Cuckooing, Criminal Exploitation, FGM and other areas of Honour Based Abuse, Radicalisation, Controlling and Coercive Behaviour, Financial Abuse and Social Media.

This training workshop will ensure participants understand Contextualised Safeguarding and new areas of risk, how to identify when children and adults may have become vulnerable to them and how to respond.

Aims for the day

• To have an overview of relevant legislation and practitioners’ statutory obligations.
• How to respond to safeguarding alerts and participate in enquiries while continuing to try and apply the wishes of the victim.

Re-qualification is recommended after three years.
