Event description

Inter-Agency Child Protection. This one day training course is delivered on behalf of the South Gloucestershire Children's Partnership and is targeted at employees working directly with children and young people who have completed °single° agency Child Protection e.g. e-learning CP and is facilitated by an experienced safeguarding trainer. Safeguarding of children and young people is everybody°s responsibility. This multi-agency course is aimed at those who need to expand upon the knowledge gained from single-agency training by increasing confidence and competence in order to contribute to inter-agency assessments and to undertake an assessment of risk when required.

The course aims to give staff an opportunity to explore within a face to face, multi-agency environment, various aspects of child protection in order to enhance knowledge and awareness of the issues and the ability to respond appropriately to them. This course will also cover basic processes and procedures for making a referral to Children°s Social Care.

Those that have frontline responsibility or are the designated safeguarding lead in their establishment should also undertake Advanced Inter-Agency Child Protection training. Please note it is recommended to leave a minimum of 3 months between attending Inter Agency Child Protection and Advanced Inter Agency Child Protection.
