Welcome to the 2013 WSCB Multi-Agency Training Directory
Welcome to the Warwickshire Safeguarding Children Board (WSCB)
Multi Agency Training Directory. Additional training events are
advertised though single agency training.
The variety of training that is on offer reflects the complexities involved
with child protection and is designed to support both staff who either
work directly with children and families or those who have minimal
contact with them. The emphasis on multi-agency training continues as
it is important in enhancing the understanding of the roles of both
individuals and their agencies.
Our training packages have been very well received and evaluated by
delegates and we ensure they are as up to date as possible with regards
to research, government drivers as well as findings from serious case
reviews, both nationally as well as locally.
We look forward to receiving your booking and your participation on our
training courses. We particularly value your feedback as this helps us to
shape and develop the training we offer.

Introduction
Please keep an eye on the training page on our web site
www.warwickshire.gov.uk/wscb where additional events organised throughout the
year will be advertised.
WSCB Training Sub Committee is committed to the delivery of a high quality Multi
Agency Training Programme, which supports professionals in their work to
safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people.
This year we again offer a wide choice of programmes ranging from half day
awareness programmes to a two day advanced programme. Each year WSCB
attracts bookings from more delegates from all of WSCB partner agencies; from
WSCB associate members and the private, voluntary and independent sector. This
wider mix of professional roles attending training events enhances valuable
opportunity for networking and learning together which strengthens multi agency
working. WSCB remains free to staff from those agencies who financially contribute
to WSCB. However, to ensure that the take up of training places is as efficient as
possible, WSCB has increased the charge for non attendance or giving less that two
weeks notice of cancellation of a confirmed place on training to £50 per half day
training and £100 per full day. Please see page 28 for details
I am very happy to be contacted to discuss any of the content within this directory
and look forward to receiving your bookings for this year’s programme.

WSCB Child Protection Awareness Training. WSCB Raising Awareness of Domestic Abuse and Harm to Children.
These programmes are for staff who have not had any previous Child Protection

a position to identify concerns about maltreatment, e.g. Community advice centre
staff, Caretakers, One Stop Shop workers, Environmental Health officers, Librarians,
Housing Staff, PCSO’s, Police (other than those in specialist CP roles), Sports
Development Officers.
Places on this training will be prioritised for staff from agencies who financially

WSCB FULL DAY: Working Together To Update on Child Protection and Improve Interagency Communication
This Programme aims to improve inter-agency working by promoting effective

reviews to update practitioners and identify ways in which professionals can work
together more effectively. By the end of the course participants will be able to show
they have an understanding of:
Professional/Agency roles and responsibilities in Child Protection
Block to interagency communication
Strategies for improving interagency communication
Strategies for improving multi-disciplinary/multi-agency working
Update on key local and strategic issues in child protection.

Programme aims:
Protective Behaviours is about empowerment, communication, self esteem and
other life skills. By learning these we can prevent abuse, reduce violence and

Protective Behaviours includes: conflict resolution, counselling, empowering people
of differing abilities, crisis intervention, parenting skills, abuse prevention, crime
prevention, sex education, drug education, staff management, and perhaps most
important of all for having fun and adventures.
Day 1 gives participants an understanding of the Protective Behaviours Process and
Day 2 is more of a workshop style and looks at putting Protective Behaviours into
practice for ourselves and with client groups.
The course will be run by:Ann Seal, Taking Care Manager, Accredited Protective Behaviours Trainer

allocated the place ensures a colleague attends the course in their
place.

concerned or other individual notified to the Training Subcommittee as
needing to be informed of these circumstances will be notified of the
non-attendance and will be made aware of the penalty to be levied.
They will be encouraged to take this up with the individual and/or their
manager.

Committee in exceptional circumstances
