Understanding Domestic Abuse and Child Protection (DAA)
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 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 Domestic Abuse and Child Protection (DAA).
This course offers detailed consideration of the child protection issues raised by domestic abuse, for all workers in any agencies accessed by children, young people and/or their parents and families; practitioners across all sectors, and their managers. The programme is delivered by the specialist practitioners from the PSCB and the Probation Service.
This one day training course (Foundation), provides participants from different agencies with the information and context necessary to be alert to signals that a child may be suffering as a result of domestic abuse in their family, and to know what to do. These include:
- Child behavioural indicators
- Situational, contextual and cultural factors
- Listening to children skills
- Procedural and practice issues
It is essential that all participants have completed at least the one-day Understanding child protection (Foundation) training or recognised equivalent. This course will not be appropriate for those with no child protection training or awareness.
