Learning with CPPEThe Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education (CPPE) offers a wide range of learning opportunities in a variety of formats for pharmacy professionals from all sectors of practice. We are funded by Health Education England to offer continuing professional development for all pharmacists and pharmacy technicians providing NHS services in England. For further information about our learning portfolio, visit: www.cppe.ac.uk

1 2 3

We recognise that people have different levels of knowledge and not every CPPE programme is suitable for every pharmacist or pharmacy technician. We have created three categories of learning to cater for these differing needs:

Core learning (limited expectation of prior knowledge)

Application of knowledge (assumes prior learning)

3 Supporting specialties (CPPE may not be the provider and will direct you to other appropriate learning providers).

This is a learning programme.

Continuing professional development

You can use this workshop programme to support your continuing professional development (CPD). Consider what your learning needs are in this area. You can record your CPD online by visiting: www.uptodate.org.uk.

Keeping up to date

To ensure this learning resource is up to date we will review it every year. A CPPE programme manager will check through the material to ensure the content is current and relevant, and that the quality of the learning experience is maintained. You will fi nd the latest version of this resource on the CPPE website.

Feedback

We hope you fi nd this learning resource useful for your practice. Please help us to assess its value and effectiveness by completing the feedback form at your event, or by emailing us at: [email protected]

About this CPPE workshop resourceThe overall aim of this resource is to develop participants’ confi dence, knowledge and skills to be able to deal professionally with a safeguarding issue should one arise in the course of their practice.

There are two parts to this CPPE workshop resource, both of which must be completed in order to achieve the learning objectives:

■ this pre-workshop book, which may include reading, information searches and tasks that you need to complete before you attend the workshop

■ the workshop itself, which is focused on the knowledge, skills and behaviours which will help you manage and optimise care for patients.

This book gets you started. It provides key information and tasks to help you meet the learning objectives, but it also encourages you to identify your own learning needs. It then challenges you to relate what you have learnt to your own practice and professional development. We have included tasks to stimulate your thinking and we will refer to these again at the workshop, so please ensure you complete them in advance.

We estimate it will take you up to fi ve hours to complete the tasks in this book.

A note about web linksWhere we think it will be helpful we have provided web links to take you directly to an article or specifi c part of a website. However, we are aware that web links can change. If you have diffi culty accessing any web links we provide, please go to the organisation’s home page or your preferred internet search engine and use appropriate key words to search for the relevant item.

Declaration of CompetenceThe Declaration of Competence (DoC) system, hosted by CPPE, allows pharmacy professionals to refl ect on their learning and practice and to record evidence of competence. The system is supported for use across England by Health Education England, and endorsed by NHS England and Public Health England. The system is intended to support pharmacy professionals and employers in assuring the delivery of high-quality services for patients.

Meeting your responsibilities for safeguarding children and vulnerable adults is a core competence underpinning each individual DoC self-assessment framework.

As a pharmacy professional you are responsible for keeping your knowledge and skills up to date. Completing the CPPE learning and assessments suggested in the DoC framework for each service, carrying out the pre-workshop reading and tasks and attending the workshop will support you in meeting specifi c competencies within the DoC self-assessment framework for each service.

If a service is not currently commissioned locally, then working through the learning programme will enable you to be service-ready, or support you in maintaining competence in your everyday practice.

If you are completing this learning in order to deliver a commissioned service, you must fi rst check that the service commissioner has approved the use of the Declaration of Competence system within the service specifi cation and/or patient group direction. Alternatively, commissioners may specify their own routes of training for service delivery (which may also meet specifi c competencies within the DoC).

Working through this programme (pre-workshop tasks, attending the workshop and completing the associated learning and assessment) will support you in meeting your professional responsibility to keep your knowledge and skills up to date with regard to safeguarding.

Learning objectivesYou can use our programmes to support you in building the evidence that you need for the different competency frameworks that apply across your career. These will include building evidence for your Foundation pharmacy framework (FPF) and supporting your progression through the membership stages of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) Faculty.

As you work through the programme consider which competencies you are meeting and the level at which you meet these. What extra steps could you take to extend your learning in these key areas?

After completing all aspects of this programme, you should be able to:

■ summarise the background and policy surrounding the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults and the issues this raises for pharmacy professionals

■ convey the importance of pharmacy professionals increasing their awareness of abuse, neglect and child sexual exploitation (CSE) and developing ways of working with other health professionals to promote best practice to deal with situations involving suspected abuse, neglect or CSE

■ highlight situations in which you are best placed to observe signs of abuse, neglect and CSE and the legal issues to consider when making a referral

■ identify sources of useful information and contacts for the development of local procedures for dealing with suspected abuse, neglect or CSE observed in the pharmacy setting

■ confi dently make a referral to the appropriate local contacts should the need ever arise.

Pre-workshop tasks Before attending the CPPE workshop you need to complete the CPPE programmes and attempt the e-assessment set out below.

The workshop is a practical learning session, designed to give you local information on safeguarding and to build your confi dence in dealing with this diffi cult topic, through participation in case studies.

Task 1Complete the CPPE Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults e-learning programme, which should take you approximately three hours to complete and can be accessed at: www.cppe.ac.uk

And

Complete the Combating CSE: An e-learning resource for healthcare professionals e-learning programme, which should take you approximately 45 minutes to complete.

Both programmes can be accessed at www.cppe.ac.uk

Then

Attempt the CPPE Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults e-assessment.

This can be accessed at: www.cppe.ac.uk and should take you approximately one hour to complete.

Task 2Obtain the contact details of all the local contacts you may need when dealing with a safeguarding concern, as well as the policies and procedures that should be available at your place of work.

If you have completed this as part of Task 1, you can use this information. Alternatively, you can download a copy of a contact recording document from the website page for this event: www.cppe.ac.uk/programmes/l/safegrding-w-03/

You should bring a completed copy of this document with you to the workshop.
