This is Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan Local Safeguarding Children Board training aimed at those professionals who are likely to participate in Child Protection Conferences, Child Protection Core Groups or Strategy Meetings, or who support, advise or supervise staff who may become involved in the child protection process.

It is an expectation that participants will have undertaken introductory level safeguarding children training prior to coming on this course. The LSCB does not provide introductory level training. This should be provided by your organisation/agency.

An update on relevant legislation, guidance, protocols and procedures; multi-agency working; appreciating own role and that of others; strategy meetings; child protection conferences and core groups; planning for children at risk of significant harm; the lessons from serious case reviews.

Course content
The course is not an introduction to safeguarding children and will not cover the legal framework for safeguarding children; the responsibilities of individuals and organisations; the signs of abuse; how to make a referral; or the response to referrals.

This training is delivered by a multi-disciplinary team of trainers drawn from various agencies across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan.

The course is also running in the Vale of Glamorgan on Thursday 3 March.
