This training is for lawyers who may come into contact with vulnerable people through their work. In particular, it is aimed at those who hold legal aid contracts and must meet the requirements of the Specialist Quality Mark (SQM) standard in respect of safeguarding.

We will help you to understand the following;
What is safeguarding?
The different types of abuse
Example signs of abuse, harm and neglect
What action should be taken if abuse is suspected
The SQM requirements
What a Safeguarding Policy should include
Target Audience
The online course is suitable for staff of all levels, from support staff to senior partners and is aimed at firms maintaining or wishing to obtain the Specialist Quality Mark.
Resources
Comprehensive and up to date course notes will be provided to all delegates which may be useful for ongoing reference or cascade training.

Transform Your Stress into Strength and Thrive in Any Situation!

When your role involves working with clients and service users who have experienced trauma or have special needs, you are expected to be resilient despite the relentless emotional and psychological impact on your well-being. This course focuses on your personal development in navigating the emotional challenges associated with your work.

Together, we will explore a range of emotion skills, practical tools, and resources that extend beyond mindfulness, gratitude, and positive thinking. We will delve into trauma-responsive processing and communication techniques that are vital for supporting your clients while also nurturing your own emotional well-being. 

Prepared for the Emotional Impact of Your Role
Research from the University of Central Lancashire in 2020 revealed that approximately 60% of emergency services personnel felt unprepared for the psychological impact of their job duties, especially when handling traumatic incidents. Additionally, a 2021 study by the Law Society found that many solicitors experience high levels of stress and burnout, with 70% of respondents reporting that the pressures of their profession significantly affect their mental health.

Based on the evidence-based method of Emotional Logic, this course will introduce you to a healthy adjustment process that avoids unhelpful coping strategies. Instead, it offers practical methods that align with your emotions and personality. You will learn to use an activity pack filled with tools and resources that will help you understand your emotional triggers and patterns, as well as discover the healthy reasons behind them. You will also learn how to prepare yourself for traumatic incidents to lessen their psychological impact. These tools are also effective for processing secondary trauma.

Testimonials
The technique has made me more aware of my own emotions, the patterns and how to talk about them more effectively. – Jo  
He gave us a whole new language with which to communicate. – Marleen  
Even now, his session really helped me overcome the shame of feeling more ‘negative’ emotions, and I have been able to work on looking inward and identifying why I’m feeling a certain way rather than blaming others. – Georgia
Sessions with Sven have been refreshing, challenging and reassuring. As it turns out, there are very good reasons why I react the way I do, and instead of wondering what I can do to change, I see the answers have been there all along. – Michael
