When Sh!t Gets Real | Hidden Safeguarding: What You Don’t See

One had 40 minutes to make a decision that would change his life.The other went into hospital expecting routine surgery and woke up with a stoma after doctors discovered a rare form of bowel cancer.For our two guests, Kev and Ferenc, everything changed in ways most of us will never see or fully understand.In this first episode of our ‘Hidden Safeguarding’ series, we're not sanitising any of it.Our guests talk openly about the realities of living with a stoma, the moments that have pushed them to their limits, the humour they've found along the way and what they wish other people understood.Yet this episode is about more than just stomas.It's about the assumptions we make when someone looks ‘fine’ on the outside, but also remembering that the person standing in front of you might be managing something you know absolutely nothing about.Some of the biggest things people are dealing with are the things we can't see.Welcome to Hidden Safeguarding.Useful Links: https://buymeacoffee.com/cornerstonesafeguarding  - Every coffee you buy helps us keep creating practical tools and content for safeguarding professionals like youTo find out more about Cornerstone Safeguarding - www.CornerstoneSafeguarding.co.uk Email us at Cornerstone: [email protected] in a meeting to discuss your safeguarding needs: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/appointments/schedules/AcZssZ0ZwllED1_R0eAmzurUNbXW6dk92TtCp9BE8oysOnlPwBl3L2vNEooyvSJ3fQaQBk_q1onKflh4Subscribe to Cornerstone Connect - https://cornerstonesafeguarding.co.uk/resources/cornerstone-connect-sign-up/- for fresh safeguarding insights, priority access to support, and exclusive discounts. Chris East on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-east-801496174/Leah East on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leah-east-cornerstone/Producers of this episode: Chris East, Leah EastHost of this episode: Chris East
