Child Protection Training - Group 5 (Designated Safeguarding Officer)

Tuesday 12 March 2024 (9.30 am start and finishing approx 4.30 pm)

Delivered by Dan Howlett and Tom Coulthard (CEO of VOYC Devon).        

Who’s this for?

This Devon Safeguarding Children Partnership recognised Group 5 training is for 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 others have said about the course:

• The training has put us in a better position to provide improved safeguarding protection.

• It has allowed me to take on the Designated Safeguarding Officer (DSO) role for my organisation supporting both my colleagues and the children and young people we work for/with. 

• I have gained a greater wealth of knowledge within the staff team.

• it will allow me to ensure that I relay the correct information to my team and the groups we support.

• Being able to effectively support and protect young people in all circumstances or know who to refer to.

• Dan and Tom worked well together and I  liked the opportunity to hear from others in the breakout exercises.

• A difficult subject, handled efficiently!
