Welcome to 7-minute briefings!

Due to the increasing pressures on services, it can be difficult to release staff to attend training. In order to encourage continuous learning and maintain a skilled workforce, Warwickshire Safeguarding Adults Board and Warwickshire Safeguarding Children Partnership have introduced 7-minute briefings as a quick and simple way for you to learn about a range of safeguarding topics.

7-minute briefings are based on a technique borrowed from the FBI. In a world of increasing pressures and demands on time, it can be hard to find the time for learning and development. Learning for seven minutes is manageable in most services, and the learning is more memorable as it is simple and not clouded by other issues and pressures.

Clearly, such short briefings will not have all the answers, but hopefully they will act as a catalyst to help teams and their managers to discuss and reflect on their practice and systems.
