Our safeguarding podcast is one year old!

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.
