Facilitator: Dee Cooley
A 1-day, multi-agency course, aimed at practitioners in paid or voluntary positions who work with children, young people, families and/or adults who may be parents or carers. Designated staff (e.g. in Education) who are new to York, or in role, should take this course initially then, in subsequent years, move on to other courses – please contact the CYSCB unit for advice.
Course Aim
to provide practitioners and volunteers with the knowledge and skills to identify and act upon concerns about children, including those who are suffering or at risk of suffering significant harm, in line with “Working Together to Safeguard Children” (2013), and other key legislation and guidance.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This training course is for staff, either employed or voluntary, and line managers from any agency working with children, young people, families or adults who may be parents or carers. The course builds on the CYSCB online basic awareness safeguarding course, and should be attended by individuals who have recently started work in York, or who have never attended this course previously. Those who need to complete multi-agency safeguarding training regularly (e.g. as part of a designated child protection role) should not just repeat this course, but should look at other multi-agency safeguarding training for future attendance.

A charge of £50.00 may be levied on the agency of any delegates who do not give adequate notice of cancellation (7 days notice), or who fails to attend without good cause. If a delegate needs to cancel their space late, the agency may nominate a suitable replacement without incurring a cost.
