Training Programme
The programme runs from September to July each year - 2011/12:
What training is available?
Some basic training is delivered by single agencies and is advertised in the local training brochure.
The SSCB provides multi-agency training which provides opportunities for workers from different agencies to learn together, to share good practice and improve how everyone works together across agencies. Some specialist courses are facilitated by external trainers but the opportunities for improved working remain the same.
How much it will it cost?
From April 1st 2011 the SSCB is introducing charging for attendance at multi-agency training for those agencies who do not contribute financially to the SSCB.
The SSCB is also introducing charging for non-attendance.
For details please see:
What training do I need?
The training you need will depend upon the job role that you have. For some workers a basic awareness course is sufficient. If you are likely to be involved in the child protection process then you will need to attend the multi-agency courses. You should always discuss your training needs with your manager in supervision.
