Professional Curiosity 7 Minute Briefing

New 7 Minute Briefing Highlights the Importance of Professional Curiosity

The Lewisham Safeguarding Adults Board has published a new 7 Minute Briefing on Professional Curiosity, reinforcing the vital role that inquisitive and respectful professional practice plays in safeguarding adults.

Professional curiosity involves actively seeking to understand a person's situation, exploring concerns, and looking beyond what may be immediately presented. It is a key component of effective safeguarding and can help practitioners identify risks, understand lived experiences, and support better outcomes for adults with care and support needs.

The briefing complements the dedicated Professional Curiosity webpage on the LSAB website and links directly to specialist training opportunities available to practitioners across the partnership.

The short resource offers practical guidance and key learning points that can be easily shared within teams, supporting ongoing workforce development and reflective practice.

Professionals across all sectors are encouraged to read the briefing and consider how professional curiosity can enhance their day to day work.
