Training
KSCB provides training and development for staff to help them safeguard and promote the welfare of children effectively. This includes being able to recognise when a child may require safeguarding, and knowing what to do in response to concerns about the welfare of a child. Practitioners and managers must also be able to work effectively with others, both within their own agency and across organisational boundaries. This is best achieved by a combination of single-agency and inter-agency training.
We run an annual multi-agency training programme, which includes a range of courses to enable professionals to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.
