A two-day Children in Wales course

This course is aimed at people who want to gain accreditation whilst learning about the current challenges in child protection and how practitioners can work with others to increase the protective factors for children that they work with. The course is appropriate for people working in a range of organisations including youth settings, schools, children’s daycare and residential settings, also services providing support to children and families in the voluntary and private sector. This two day training will provide an opportunity for participants to discuss issues from practice exploring the complex and sensitive nature of keeping children safe in a variety of settings.

Participants will explore the roles of relevant partners, the importance of accurate record keeping and appropriate information sharing, taking on board when consent is required. Attendees will have the opportunity to consider what helps to make an effective referral when an organisation has concerns about the welfare of a child and what might be expected of them during the statutory child protection process, including core group meetings and case conferences. The course will focus on a child centred approach to safeguarding and will offer participants the opportunity to analyse essential work place practices and policies in relation to keeping everyone safe. The issues of e-safety and bullying will also be addressed as these have a direct link to the safety and wellbeing of children and young people.
