Understanding Child Protection Refresher (half day) (CPR) - 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.
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 Understanding Child Protection Refresher (half day).
The half-day refresher course is for all staff who require updating on Safeguarding and Child Protection policies and procedures, who have previously attended an inter-agency 'Introduction to Child Protection' course (for example, the PSCB 'Understanding Child Protection' Foundation course).
If the applicant has not attended a core inter-agency 'Introduction to Child Protection' in the last four years, they are expected to attend the full one-day course.
This course offers detailed instruction on the legal context of Safeguarding and Child Protection in England, the signs and symptoms of child abuse, the contemporary legal framework for the welfare of the child, current procedures including common assessment and child protection investigations, and explanations of the lead agencies and how to manage concerns within the multi-agency context.
