Safeguarding (F2F)
The Makaton Safeguarding workshop is designed to support professionals and
carers of children and adults with severe communication and learning
disabilities. The workshop builds on existing knowledge of signs and symbols
from Level 1 and 2 training, and provides instruction for extra signs and
symbols specific to safeguarding situations.
Participants are invited to consider differing protocols and practice. The
workshop will enable participants to consider how the vocabulary may be safely
applied to promote communication for people who use Makaton within a range of
levels and contexts.
Content
This unique workshop provides signs and symbols for a range of vocabulary
covering a number of topics:
1. People: family, relationships and people around us
2. Body parts and clothes
3. Places
4. Feelings: feelings, thoughts and behaviours (including bullying and abuse)
5. Sexual behaviour
By the end of the workshop you will be able to:
1. Develop a ‘Safeguarding through Makaton’ plan for implementation in your own
setting.
2. Demonstrate an understanding of the range of people Makaton users could come
into contact with at different ages and stages in their lives;
3. Demonstrate how Makaton can be personalised and used at different levels of
complexity to meet individual needs;
4. Identify vocabulary required by a Makaton user and be able to apply the
principles of this analysis to the user’s own setting;
5. Demonstrate an understanding of the difference between comments and
questions, and an appreciation of how to maintain an interaction with a
Makaton user;
6. Describe strategies or methods appropriate to use with a Makaton user to
help them understand and use vocabulary or concepts;
