London Safeguarding Children Board - Induction Training Pack
The London Board Training Subgroup has produced a training pack to be used by experienced trainers for those workers/volunteers within any organisation who are in contact/work with children and young people and adults who are parents/carers. These will be people who are in a position to identify concerns about maltreatment, including those which may arise from the use of the Common Assessment Framework.
The pack is designed to be delivered flexibly as a two or three hour event to large or small groups. The nature and level of participant involvement, together with the way in which the exercises within the pack are executed will depend on group size and the time available to deliver the training.
The training pack and associated resources can be found at www.londonscb.gov.uk/training_subgroup/
