NB – This course was previously known as “Working Together to Safeguard Children – Safeguarding Lead Role” and has changed its title in order to provide consistency across the Avon & Somerset Region. This training and certification is still valid and the course content remains the same.

In order to qualify to attend this course you must have completed the Introduction to Child Protection (Interagency) Course within the last 2 years.

If in doubt please contact SSCPTraining@somerset.gov.uk prior to booking.

 

This course is ‘experiential learning’ and participants will be expected to take an active role in their learning and sharing practice.

  • This course will provide an opportunity for participants who have already received basic child protection training to improve their understanding and knowledge of their own and other’s responsibilities.
  • It will be an opportunity to explore with colleagues from other organisations the challenges and benefits that exist in working in a multi-agency system and to promote and improve inter-agency best practice.
