Workplace Workshops.

COMING SOON!

Does your organisation provide services or activities to children or young people?

Do you want to equip staff with advanced skills to manage stress, regulate their emotions and share safety even in challenging situations?

You’ve come to the right place.

Wellbeing support is coming soon!

With over 20 years of experience in children, families, and education—including expertise in child safeguarding and staff wellbeing programs—I am expanding my support to focus on the wellbeing of staff in your organisation.

Inner Safeguarding workshops will soon be available to help “in-power” staff with practical, evidence-based tools to manage stress, regulate emotions, and build a culture of safety.

Workplace workshops will be available to any organisation working with children and young people, including:

  • Schools and early childhood settings

  • Disability Services

  • Youth justice and child protection services

If you support children, Inner Safeguarding is here to support you.

Why ‘Inner’ Safeguarding?

While external safeguarding systems and processes are essential for protecting children and young people from harm, true safety starts from within.

Staff need the inner tools and resources to care for themselves, manage stress, and show up in ways that support their wellbeing in order to consistently share safety with children and young people.

Inner Safeguarding recognises that adult wellbeing is in children’s best interests.

When caring adults are equipped with inner resources, they are better able to respond rather than react to the children and young people in their care.

Building Inner Safeguarding skills in caring adults supports child-safe environments. Those skills include:

Self-awareness – Recognising personal triggers and stress responses
Self-care – Cultivating habits that support emotional, psychological, and physical wellbeing
Self-regulation – Managing emotions effectively, even in difficult situations
Self-compassion – Treating yourself with kindness (because no-one is perfect).
