3 Introduction Sandwell Safeguarding Children Board (SSCB) has a range of roles and statutory functions including the training of persons who work with children or in services affecting the safety and welfare of children; SSCB communicates to persons and bodies the need to safeguard and promote the welfare of children, raising awareness of how this can best be done and encouraging them to do so. This catalogue is aimed at professionals working in all organisations involving children, young people and their families. The Learning & Development sub group devised the catalogue to support locally and regionally identified needs and priorities identified from case file audits, local (as well as national) serious case reviews, child death reviews, learning reviews and key inspection findings. Evaluation You will be asked to complete an evaluation form after each course, which assists in planning future events and ensures we meet our objectives and the needs of the children s workforce in Sandwell. You and your line manager will be asked to participate in evaluating the impact of training on practice. This will entail completing an online survey and an impact questionnaire three six months post training. Staff Groupings: Provides guidance for line managers to determine the levels of competency that need to be achieved based on the statutory guidance The Learning and Development Course Catalogue will give guidance on which courses are appropriate for which group (these are recommendation only). Training should be accessed following discussion with your line manager to ascertain if aims/outcomes of courses meet with the expectations of you in your role and if you meet the prior learning/experience requirements. See page 5 for staff groupings. Please note: Refreshments are provided on training courses, lunch is not.

Costs Black Country professionals can access training free of charge Non attendance/late cancellation will incur a charge of 30 Manager approval Ensure that your manager has approved your training We have changed our systems to improve the administration of courses. This means that you and your manager must now be registered on learning pool and take responsibility for this approval step. Certificates It is your responsibility to download your certificate from learning pool following successful completion of training. 3

4 Black Country LSCB Training Programme The Black Country LSCB Training Project was one of three DfE innovation projects that Sandwell Safeguarding Children Board (SSCB) were involved with and which were being undertaken on behalf of the West Midlands LSCB Chairs. The project has laid out plans for topic based courses to be offered and delivered across the Black Country through an amalgamated training programme. The main changes that you will notice: Topic Based Training Courses previously not offered in Sandwell will now be accessible from our neighbouring safeguarding boards, the variety of courses now on offer has increased. Safeguarding Children & Young People Module 1 There is no statutory obligation for module one safeguarding awareness training to be provided by SCB s.
