Play • 28 min

Welcome to Association of Child Protection Professionals' Podcast, a weekly podcast where we, alongside guest hosts, share with you the latest in child and family news.

This episode is a Special Episode. In these special episodes, we take a more focused look at a singular issue that professionals working with children and families need to know about. These are often specific and urgent – so we’ll be talking with a professional at the forefront of the issue.


In today's episode, Wendy Thorogood, Chair of the Association of Child Protection Professionals, talks to Donna Ohdedar, Head of SILP, about safeguarding reviews and how to better improve them.


Donna Ohdedar, has 16 years of public sector experience, including her most recent role as Head of law for a leading metropolitan authority. Now a safeguarding adviser & trainer, Donna is involved in reviews in both child and adult safeguarding as well as domestic homicide reviews.

 

Motivated by her ‘big mission’ to improve practice in reviews, Donna offers ‘SILP School’ her university accredited SILP review course, continuing professional development for reviewers and a free online network for leaders in review practice. 

 

Donna’s vision is to share her work with those who want to learn more about how we lead ourselves & others in reviews, moving beyond preoccupation with process & embracing what’s needed in the next phase of learning and improvement work.
