Safeguarding and Child Protection Multi Agency course

Stage 2

This training is classed as a ‘Full-Day’ course. For charging information, please see the Terms & Conditions page.

Target Audience:

Any professionals working with children and their families.

Attendance Criteria:

Delegates must have completed mandatory Basic/Stage 1 Safeguarding/Child Protection training within their own agency.

Aim of the Course:

Practitioners across the children’s workforce who, having been introduced to child protection concepts through induction, e-learning or basic awareness training, get the opportunity for a facilitator led in-depth discussion and analysis of the key aspects of harm and abuse and local intervention strategies. It is also useful as a refresher for those practitioners requiring an update to their knowledge on the subject.

*PLEASE NOTE - This course does not train a delegate to be a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) or a Designated Senior Person (DSP).

It will, however, serve as the formal biennial refresher required of the DSL/DSP role.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the course, participants will: 

• gain knowledge of what to do when participants suspect that a child is suffering abuse;
• be aware of the locally agreed procedures and the expectations of the participant’s role in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and the importance of working together to achieve this;
• have an understanding of key relevant legislation and statutory guidance in this area;
• consider the needs of the child across the continuum of care, from early help to child protection utilising the local thresholds document;
• refresh their practitioner knowledge of the key categories of harm and how these might be identified;
• look at what happens after the concern has been raised and acknowledged; and
• look beyond the referral at how concerns are addressed including the child protection conference process.

This is a virtual training course and delegates will be sent an invitation via Microsoft Teams to join the event. Please note that your email address may be visible to other delegates on the Microsoft Teams  invite.
