Safeguarding Children from Neglect (NEA) - New course

The Plymouth Safeguarding Children Board (PSCB) offers a range of up-to-date statutory training in areas of Best Practice concerning Safeguarding Children and Child Protection. All courses are inter-agency, offering participants the opportunity to meet practitioners and managers from a variety of agencies, to better understand the essential inter-agency nature of all child protection work in Plymouth.

The course Understanding Child Protection (CPF), is the gateway course to all PSCB training and learning opportunities. Once completed, successful participants can access all other PSCB courses including Safeguarding Children from Neglect.

This course offers detailed consideration of the child protection issues raised by physical or emotional neglect, for all workers in any agencies accessed by children, young people and/or their parents and families; practitioners across all sectors, and their managers.
