Multi-agency training for everyone working with children and families in Croydon

Welcome to Croydon’s Safeguarding Children Board (CSCB) Learning and Development. This programme is available to all staff and volunteers who work with children and young people, and is intended to complement single agency training.

What Safeguarding Learning and Development do I need?

The CSCB L&D Programme is based on the pan-London Competence Still Matters (2014) which provides detail on eight staff groups and the minimum training content, delivery and outcome requirements in respect of each group. This document is not replicated here, so you must refer to the full version for further details

It is important to note that Competence Still Matters (2104) should be used to determine single-agency safeguarding learning and development, whether this is delivered in-house or commissioned.
This table illustrates the staff group a role may fall into, example roles are given but are in no way exhaustive.
It is recommended that safeguarding training is refreshed at least every three years.

What Safeguarding Learning Do I Need – is a summary guide to help you determine what safeguarding learning and development you or your organisation’s role need to engage with.

CSCB Neglect Conference 2017 – Key Messages

Thank you to all of our speakers and to those who attended and took part in some great conversations about how we can help protect and support children from neglect. On the day, we welcomed practitioners from a range of different settings including children’s social care, health services, school and nursery settings, police, housing and community and voluntary groups. Such a mixed audience illustrates just how we all have a role to play in recognising and responding to neglect, and in particular recognising and responding to signs of early neglect.

There were some great discussions on the day about recognition of neglect; common standards and language, use of tools and assessments, engagement of parents, role of supervision and engagement of wider communities to help support families who need help. We will be using learning and feedback from the day to inform the CSCB Neglect Strategy. If you are interested in being part of developing this strategy, you can join our working group. For more details contact us at safeguardingchildrenboard@croydon.gov.uk

There were many useful points learnt and discussed – some of those key messages and presentations from each of our speakers are available to view and download here – CSCB Neglect Conference 2017 Key Messages
