What people say

"The information provided helped when considering how we might implement children's safeguarding into our practices. Reference to different enquiries and changes to legislation was interesting to learn."

Course participant, January 2023

"The most important thing I will take away was the necessity of having a child centred approach and a culture of vigilance that can prevent abuse. I enjoyed gaining the benefits of Mandy’s experience and knowledge of safeguarding. I learnt a number of key things, particularly when to take action."

Course participant

"The training gave us an opportunity to discuss scenarios with colleagues and explore how systems work together – moving from an individual agency’s concern to a case conference where all the information comes together. I would recommend this training – it gives a good grounding in Safeguarding."
