About the workshop

This unique and thought-provoking Workshop aims to explain Makaton approaches to Safeguarding, how they link with existing safeguarding practices; demonstrates how Makaton can be personalised and used at different levels of complexity to meet individual needs and develops a ‘Safeguarding through Makaton’ plan for implementation in your own setting. You will learn approximately 300 signs, only 60 of these are from the Core Vocabulary.

The workshop will be delivered in four modules, each lasting four hours. You must attend all four modules to complete this Workshop.

The signs and symbols cover several topics:
