Welcome

Welcome to Tri Borough Safeguarding Children Board training programme for April to September 2012. Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster LSCB’s have brought their training programmes together to deliver one programme across the boroughs.

This programme commenced a year ago and we are steadily increasing our offer of courses to ensure we meet the needs of professionals. If you identify a course which is required however is not on our offer. Please contact the LSCB training department on: , so that this can be explored.

We are now offering all LSCB courses on a tri-borough basis. We recommend that you read the course outlines and decide with your line manager which courses are suitable before booking.

This programme is different from previous programmes. We have recently increased our package to include training for people with line management responsibility. There have been changes to the booking, cancellations and costs for training. For these reasons we recommend that you read the introductory pages.

We hope this programme will add further value to the training events, by being more targeted and therefore more appropriate for professionals at varying levels of skills, knowledge and expertise in their area of work.

If you have any queries or questions about booking on to a course, please contact Renay Stephens the LSCB Multi Agency Trainer or any other member of the LSCB training team on 0208 753 5507 or

Which Training Should I attend?

Face to Face training:

“The Introduction to Safeguarding Children” course is meant for staff that has infrequent contact with children, young people and/or parents/carers who may become aware of possible abuse or neglect eg: librarians, GP receptionists and community advice centre staff.

All level three courses are aimed at members of the workforce who work predominantly with children and young people and/or their parents/carers and who could potentially contribute to assessing, planning, intervening and reviewing the need of a child and parenting capacity where there are safeguarding concerns, such as a professional who may be required to contribute to a case conference.

We would recommend that you attend the Multi Agency Safeguarding and Child Protection Training (level 3), prior to completing any further training.
