    Workshop resources

    There are 3 workshops available: (one day, two days and three days) with additional PowerPoints for targeted refresher training for an intervention (see Safewards interventions: Examples, refresher training and other resources).

    The one-day workshop slide deck covers the model and the 10 interventions. The order of the interventions has been designed to flow effectively and alternate between straightforward and more complex interventions. However, you may choose to change the order

    The two-day workshop covers the model and five interventions on the first day. The second day of the workshop starts with a revision of day one then focuses on the remaining five interventions.
