We’re delighted to announce the launch of our new approach to training starting in April.
All the core training which you are familiar with will remain on our programme including Introduction to Safeguarding Children & Young People, and Working Together to Safeguard Children Training, however we’re also hosting a variety of topic based sessions using some new and exciting training approaches. We think this will be an important way to meet the needs of all learners with a range of different learning styles.
The topic-based sessions will change over the course of the year to include any current learning or practice changes.
In the feedback from Leeds Safeguarding Week 2024 you told us you wanted regular sessions but spread over a longer period to increase the likelihood that you would be able to attend more often. This has led to the decision to use this new topic based approach.
All the session topics will be linked to our LSCP priorities, learning from reviews, findings from audits and learning from inspections. For each session, we will clearly outline where the learning has come from to inform the choice of topic, so you can make the direct connection yourselves.
All sessions will either be delivered by subject experts from across the Partnership, drawing on the wide experience we have in Leeds or commissioned specifically.
We’ve also developed a new resource for your team meetings.
Our ‘Team Briefing’ packages are a series of topic-based resources; videos and audios, all available for you to use in small group sessions, to learn from the content and from each other, as you work through them.
For those of you who have previously attended our ‘Training the Trainer’ course to enable you to deliver training in your own teams, we think that you may find it useful to touch base with us now and again, to make sure the training you’re offering is still up to date and relevant to your practice. Every six months, we will be offering an MS Teams based 90 minute peer session, to share your thoughts on delivering safeguarding training, working through challenges, and accessing support on any training related issue.
Take a look at the new training section on our website. We look forward to seeing you at one of the sessions.
