Training overview
This course consists of two full days of learning which will provide delegates with a more in depth understanding of Adult Support and Protection legislation and best practice, including you and your agency's role.
It should complement single agency Adult Support and Protection (ASP) learning and the training is suitable for those who have already completed their single agency eLearning in ASP.
This is an excellent opportunity to learn alongside multi-agency colleagues and network.
Learning outcomes
You will learn:
- build upon understanding of multi-agency roles and responsibilities within the protection of children and young people
- consider attachment and trauma in child protection
- develop understanding of Multi-Agency Safety Hub (MASH) and Interagency Referral Discussions (IRDs) and decision making
- support you to complete mapping and safety planning for children at risk of harm
- develop critical thinking and assessment skills
Who should attend this training
This training is suitable to those in the intensive workforce category who have specific designated responsibility for people who may be in need of protection as part of their role. For example: specialist workers; managers and supervisors in all agencies; health visitors; midwives; GPs; named health professionals in ambulance organisations; Public Protection Advisors and paediatricians with special interest in child protection; designated workers with a specific responsibility for child protection; which would include teaching staff with this level of responsibility, child protection coordinators and those in a named person role; some police officers such as those attached to Public Protection Units; Criminal Justice workers, and Children and Families services.
