This goes beyond awareness training – whilst we can deliver awareness training, we find that most settings have already provided this to their staff. Most settings are looking for up-to-date and relevant training that's contextual to what's going on both locally and nationally.
Our training is bespoke to the needs of the workforce which we derive from local data (e.g., public health, the results of the s.175 Audit and intelligence from the Local Safeguarding Partnership), and national updates (COVID-19 government guidance, updates in Legislation and statutory guidance).
For a fulfilling experience we recommend you protect 2.5 hours, including time for a break in the middle.
These courses are based on what's available locally, and aim to develop an awareness level of topical safeguarding issues across the whole staff body.
Examples of course topics include FGM, Child Exploitation, Domestic Abuse and Child on Child Harm etc.
Each course includes:
