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;
