CHILD PROTECTION TRAINING - GROUP 3

DESIGNATED SAFEGUARDING LEADS/OFFICERS

Monday 27 March 2017 (9.30 am - 4.30 pm)          

Who’s this for?

This Devon Safeguarding Children Board (DSCB) approved Group 3 training is for members of the not for profit children and young people’s workforce who have particular responsibilities in relation to advising and supporting other staff (paid/unpaid) who may have safeguarding concerns, who have the responsibility to receive and refer safeguarding information. This also includes self-employed ‘stand-alone’ practitioners who do not work within an organisation (ie childminders, private tutors, etc).

This is what Philippa Geddes, Manager of the Devon Safeguarding Children Board (DSCB), said about the course:

“The DSCB endorses this training for those who work within the voluntary and community sector. It is particularly pertinent for those wanting to know more about the role of the Designated Safeguarding Officer; what policy and procedures need to be in place for your organisation and safer recruitment.”
