We are celebrating a Birthday!
The P Pod was launched by Somerset Safeguarding Children Partnership in September 2023. Since this time, the fortnightly episodes have covered a wide range of Podcasts (including Trauma Informed Practice, Motivational Interviewing and ICON messaging) and spoken to services across the County alongside a wide range of other safeguarding updates!
It has been fantastic to talk to national experts, including:
- Jordan Alexander – Chair of the Advisory Group to the Government on Spiritual and Ritualistic Abuse
- Dr Karen Treisman – one of the country’s leading experts on Trauma Informed Practice
- Dr Jeremy Davies – The Fatherhood Institute (soon to be published)
The first year of the P Pod – in figures:
- 30 episodes published
- 4,900 downloads in the first year
- Over 750 downloads each month
We have received lots of positive feedback on the importance of this messaging in Somerset. If you have not joined us at The P Pod yet, there is no time like the present to have a listen, with all episodes available on all major platforms, including Apple Podcasts & Spotify, but if you prefer they are also available on the SSCP website.
Upcoming episodes include a two part special on Safeguarding Children Online with the Police’s ICAT Team, another two part episode on Engaging with Fathers, Understanding Family Group Conferences and Adopting a Trauma Informed Approach to Supporting Victims of Exploitation.
