Protection concepts as a full range
Protection concepts against sexual assaults are increasingly becoming the standard requirement for youth welfare institutions to prevent sexual assaults in the current scientific discourse. Also in the area of disability aid, demands for a protection concept obligation are becoming louder. However, there are not enough offers from external advice centers that have experience working with perpetrators. Dipl. Pych. Lothar Sandfort presents an offer here. He has built up a team that can guide the creation of protection concepts, develop suggestions for complaint management for suspected sexual assault, offer peer counseling for various team groups and can quickly be on hand to intervene in a crisis. He worked for many years as a psychotherapist for youth welfare in Berlin (Hellersdorf and Marzahn) and is involved in the field of handicap assistance as head of the Institute for the Self-Determination of Disabled People (ISBB) in Trebel, Lower Saxony. As a unique selling point of the ISBB, advice is offered by peer counselors (see below). Lothar Sandfort is a wheelchair user due to paraplegia. In the following, an example of our offer describes the possible cooperation with any provider of disability aid. Usually, committed supervisors from everyday group life turn to us, from where the problems often seem unbearable. We discuss with them the possibility of a sustainable collaboration that supports the entire facility, that is ready to change with the new experiences, that is, to become sexually competent. We try to reach the relevant groups using the following measures: 1. In the area of a sponsor, the sponsor invites to an open discussion. In particular, the board level of the executing agency, the parents of the residents and the legal supervisors should be invited. Topic: Are sexualized assaults conceivable in our institution? Do we need a protection concept and a strengthening of sexual competence? Speaker: Dipl.-Psych. Lothar Sandfort. If you finally agree to work together, you can continue. 2. First, a preliminary discussion with employees from the management level about how sexuality is already agogically significant in the facility and how far the management level is willing to support (further) integration of peer counseling. Dipl-Psych. Lothar Sandfort explain our work and you can talk about the scope of the order and the fee. If you finally agree to work together, you can continue. Afterwards: Advising important teams with peer counselors from our team, who themselves have current experience in the respective life / work area: 1. The middle management level (e.g. residential group management), 2. The interested supervising employees in the hostels and workshops of the sponsor, 3. the interested residents or workshop employees. In the latter setting with Lothar Sandfort and a specialist for the needs of disabled women. In this context, we can create a risk analysis for the prevention of sexual assault, which is increasingly becoming the standard requirement in educational discourse. The document created by us can be authorized by the state through a further external and independent examination. Then a spatial inspection of the facility would be necessary. In the agreed cooperation with the ISBB, in the event of a conflict (assault, aggression and depression due to sexual frustration), you have crisis advice available directly in person or via Skype. Contact with the person in charge of the facility can be included in complaint management if our team is allowed to advise on the positive aspects of individual sexual development. Our team would then not only be a counseling center in the event of a crisis, but could also gain trust through counseling contact on sexual and partnership-related wishes and questions. The goal then is empowering sexual competence, which would be empowerment for the partnership encounter. Scientific studies and our work to date show that those affected first open up to people they trust. Additional measures required for facilities for disabled people The men and women in the disabled facilities are unnecessarily limited in their communication options. Above all, your language is non-verbal. They express themselves in productions and often only learn about behavior. The ISBB has used knowledge of experiential education and developed sexual accompaniment. By training sexual assistants, it is possible to practice sexuality (with the exception of coitus). In a highly sensitized and highly motivating encounter, cognitively impaired people have the opportunity to try out a surrogate partnership - also emotionally. If the ISBB is able to work with the supervisors and supervisors of a facility, for example in discussion groups, the ISBB can assure well-trained sexual assistants outside of prostitution, who will be supervised by us. Disabled women have a lot of catching up to do in sexual counseling. With sexual frustration, they rarely react like men staging aggression. Women, on the other hand, are more depressed. They react - in the most unpleasant case for care - with refusal to work in the workshop, but also with skin diseases, eating disorders, migraines. The latter effects are answered with medication. These have the least effect on aggression, unless again undesirable side effects should arise: sedation. If nothing else helps with aggression, advice centers are involved. In this way, 90% of men receive sexual accompaniment. That will not change in the foreseeable future. Disabled women need counselors who are well versed in depression, skin disorders and eating disorders. The sexual assistants work according to the following guidelines, which make great differences to prostitution. You will be rewarded within the cooperation agreement between ISBB and facility management. Now the guidelines: The goal of ISBB sexual support is the reflected personality development of the clients, especially by strengthening their erotic and sexual skills. Empowerment. ISBB sexual accompaniment stands for an encounter that is open to sexuality, but sexual intercourse is excluded. It is a prerequisite to respect and respect the current own limits and the limits of the clients in the encounter. The ISBB sexual escorts commit themselves to honest communication with the clients. ISBB sexual accompaniment is never provided without orders from those seeking advice. The ISBB sexual escorts commit themselves to regular reflection on their work with the sex advisers of the ISBB. The ISBB sexual companions seek trusting cooperation with the social environment of those seeking advice. Sexual companions undertake to adhere to the safer sex standards and to convey them to those seeking advice. The agreed price of ISBB sexual accompaniment refers to the time spent together and not to certain sexual acts. Sex escorts are committed to human rights, not certain religions. Since the supervised in facilities for the disabled work depend to a large extent on caregivers, the facilities must be included in the advice. A personal development process for those seeking advice must be comprehensible and supported by the facility teams. This requires agreements. This is the only way that sexual accompaniment can be sustainable. Working with us means: You get continuous access to external expertise in all crisis situations in your everyday teaching. You get secure access to well-trained sexual assistants outside of prostitution. You receive peer counseling once a year at management level and at the level of the staff in the care service. You receive peer counseling at the addressee level once a month. We help you to develop a high-quality protection concept that is continuously monitored for its effectiveness. We help you to set up an individual complaint management. The overall concept costs € 5,000 per year. Entry-level packages cost correspondingly less. Youth welfare organizations can apply for the costs from the local social welfare agency (§ 8b SGB VIII). Carriers of disability assistance can apply for the costs via Section 6 SGB XII.
