The South Gloucestershire SAB has established a Network of Trained Safeguarding Adults Trainers, approved to deliver initial “ALERTER”-Level Safeguarding training in the workplace.
Agencies operating in the South Glos area who wish to have a manager/senior employee join the existing Network need them to attend this initial Train The Trainer workshop and then be observed delivering safeguarding adults training in their own workplace, for quality assurance purposes.
If an organisation already has an in-house Safeguarding Adults trainer, or if they can identify someone to take on that role, they are invited to take part in the Network.
The trained trainers who make up the Network are able to:
* deliver SAB-approved Alerter-level training to staff in their own agency, and to open up their training to other organisations as well.
* make use of a standard set of training resources and materials, with other options available to tailor Alerter training to their specific work setting too
* take part in Safeguarding Adults Trained Trainer Network meetings to share good practice, develop new ideas and be part of a group that maintains high standards of training delivery.
The Trained Trainer Network meets every 6 months to share experiences and learning, to swap ideas on best practice and new materials, and to support each other in the key tasks of building and maintaining safeguarding adults good practice. There is no charge for agencies to join the Network.
