Event description


This one day training course is delivered on behalf of the South Gloucestershire Children's Partnership and is targeted at those staff who need to complete an advanced-level of child protection training. 

Effective child protection depends not only on reliable and accepted procedures for all staff involved with children and young people, but also on their skills, knowledge and judgement and the ability to work together co-operatively.

Staff with lead roles in child protection require specialised training in order to carry out their work with abused children and families. 

The target participants should be working in child protection as a statutory partner or as a partner in a management role and/or are performing duties as Designated or Deputy Safeguarding Lead. 

This training session should only be attended on the basis that the participant has attended Inter-Agency Child Protection training within the last 2 years.

Please note it is recommended to leave a minimum of 3 months between attending Inter Agency Child Protection and Advanced Inter Agency Child Protection

Learning outcomes

Identify current child protection legislation, statutory and non-statutory guidance.

Apply local thresholds and procedures to develop professional judgement when making decisions as to whether a child is a child in need or is suffering or likely to suffer significant harm, and to take appropriate action.

Manage tasks, processes, roles and responsibilities and apply local arrangements for safeguarding children and promoting their welfare, including the use of Signs of Safety and Early Help models.

Utilise the procedural and legislative framework within which agencies must operate, including individual and joint roles and responsibilities at each stage of the Child Protection process.

Interpret and apply information sharing guidance and processes, information governance, confidentiality and consent related to dealing with Inter-Agency child Protection procedures.

Employ professional courage, curiosity, challenge and when working alone as a single agency professional or member of a multi-agency team, working to safeguard children. Accept and champion the culture of ‘it could happen here’ and then use and develop a culture of professional challenge and whistleblowing when working to safeguard and protect children.

Develop knowledge of and confidence in responding to contextual safeguarding concerns for children. i.e. risks to children outside of their homes, all types of exploitation, FGM and radicalisation.
