This 2 hour webinar is delivered on behalf of the South Gloucestershire Children's Partnership.

Participants should be only those who have already completed an Advanced-level of Child Protection training within statutory or setting-related timescales, and who now need to maintain this level of training.

Participants will be expected to have a good working knowledge of safeguarding with experience of statutory and local child protection responsibilities and procedures.


Effective child protection depends not only on reliable and accepted procedures for all staff involved with children, but also on their skills, knowledge and judgment 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 learning outcomes for this training are designed to ensure that all participants receive updates in the latest child protection legislation, statutory guidance, local policies, procedures and professional requirements.

You are invited to a repeat session of Speed Reading with Rhodes Training

Who is it for?

This workshop is for anyone who would like to be able to read their general work-related documents in a fraction of the time that it currently takes.

What is it about?

Speed Reading is about understanding how our eyes work and then using a couple of simple techniques to make them move faster and cover the material more quickly. During the workshop you will try these techniques and, through a series of timed exercises, find out which ones work best for you.

The ideas we cover are suitable for reviewing general work-related material to help you to assess whether the document needs more in-depth reading.
