Welcome to the 2013 WSCB Multi-Agency Training Directory

Welcome to the Warwickshire Safeguarding Children Board (WSCB)

Multi Agency Training Directory. Additional training events are

advertised though single agency training.

The variety of training that is on offer reflects the complexities involved

with child protection and is designed to support both staff who either

work directly with children and families or those who have minimal

contact with them. The emphasis on multi-agency training continues as

it is important in enhancing the understanding of the roles of both

individuals and their agencies.

Our training packages have been very well received and evaluated by

delegates and we ensure they are as up to date as possible with regards

to research, government drivers as well as findings from serious case

reviews, both nationally as well as locally.

We look forward to receiving your booking and your participation on our

training courses. We particularly value your feedback as this helps us to

shape and develop the training we offer.

Please Note: WSCB Programmes No Longer Include Lunch

Introduction

Please keep an eye on the training page on our web site

www.warwickshire.gov.uk/wscb where additional events organised throughout the

year will be advertised.

WSCB Training Sub Committee is committed to the delivery of a high quality Multi

Agency Training Programme, which supports professionals in their work to

safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people.

This year we again offer a wide choice of programmes ranging from half day

awareness programmes to a two day advanced programme. Each year WSCB

attracts bookings from more delegates from all of WSCB partner agencies; from

WSCB associate members and the private, voluntary and independent sector. This

wider mix of professional roles attending training events enhances valuable

opportunity for networking and learning together which strengthens multi agency

working. WSCB remains free to staff from those agencies who financially contribute

to WSCB. However, to ensure that the take up of training places is as efficient as

possible, WSCB has increased the charge for non attendance or giving less that two

weeks notice of cancellation of a confirmed place on training to £50 per half day

training and £100 per full day. Please see page 28 for details

I am very happy to be contacted to discuss any of the content within this directory

and look forward to receiving your bookings for this year’s programme.

WSCB FULL DAY: Working Together To Update on Child Protection and Improve Interagency Communication

This Programme aims to improve inter-agency working by promoting effective

communication and working relationships with practitioners and professionals to

safeguard children.

Working together effectively has been frequently cited as lacking in Serious Case

Reviews, which are undertaken when a child dies and abuse is known or suspected.

This programme draws on evidence gleaned from national and local serious case

reviews to update practitioners and identify ways in which professionals can work

together more effectively. By the end of the course participants will be able to show

they have an understanding of:

Professional/Agency roles and responsibilities in Child Protection

Block to interagency communication

Strategies for improving interagency communication

Strategies for improving multi-disciplinary/multi-agency working

Update on key local and strategic issues in child protection.

14


You should attend this programme before attending other WSCB full day training.

Protective Behaviours is about empowerment, communication, self esteem and

of differing abilities, crisis intervention, parenting skills, abuse prevention, crime

prevention, sex education, drug education, staff management, and perhaps most

important of all for having fun and adventures.

Day 1 gives participants an understanding of the Protective Behaviours Process and

Day 2 is more of a workshop style and looks at putting Protective Behaviours into

practice for ourselves and with client groups.

The course will be run by:Ann Seal, Taking Care Manager, Accredited Protective Behaviours Trainer

allocated the place ensures a colleague attends the course in their

place.

A charge of £100 per full day programme and £50 for a half day programme will apply if any participant allocated a place gives no apologies and does not turn up on the day, regardless if they are the original participant or a ’stand in’.

concerned or other individual notified to the Training Subcommittee as

needing to be informed of these circumstances will be notified of the
