Virtual training - essential information

During the training you will be asked to work in breakout rooms with other practitioners to consider the information required to complete a report for an Initial Child Protection Conference based on a case study, as well as take part in other interactive activities. To promote engagement, please keep your cameras on when working in breakout rooms to support interaction with the group.

Course materials will be available to download 10 days before the event. A copy of the slides and links to documents and further readings will be available after completing your evaluation.

Safeguarding training is of high importance and as a partnership we need to be satisfied that the learning outcomes have been achieved before providing a certificate off attendance. Any delegate arriving more than 15 minutes after the start of training will not be eligible for a certificate and will be asked to rebook.
