3 Welcome to the WSCB Multi-Agency Training Directory Welcome to the Warwickshire Safeguarding Children Board (WSCB) Multi-agency Training Directory. This directory offers a variety of training courses which continue to reflect the complexities involved with safeguarding children and are designed to support both staff who work directly with children and families and enhance skills and raise awareness for those whom have minimal contact. The emphasis on multi-agency training continues. Feedback from the training courses from the current and previous years highlight the value to you, as Warwickshire s children s workforce, that you place on having opportunities to network with professionals from other organisations. You have identified that these opportunities help in developing an understanding of roles and responsibilities in other organisations and add another level of learning to the training. Responsibility and commitment to access training touches us all on many levels; as professionals we all have a responsibility for our own professional development and learning, as managers we have a responsibility not just for our own development and learning but to that of the staff teams we manage, supporting them to access and attend training as well as enabling them to reflect on their learning through supervision processes and evaluating the impact of training on practice. Our training packages have been very well received and evaluated by participants. We particularly value your feedback as this helps us to shape and develop the training that we offer. Packages have been updated to ensure they reflect current research, government drivers as well as findings from serious case reviews, both nationally and locally. We will be adding additional courses and further training dates to our programme during the course of the year, please check WILMa, the learning platform, for the most up to date information. Alternatively, please keep an eye on the training page on our web site; We look forward to receiving your booking and your participation on our training courses. Jackie Kerby - WSCB Interagency Learning & Improvement Officer

4 Introduction There are some changes to the programme for this year. The response we have received to the training has been fantastic and a number of developments and changes have resulted in the following feedback: Domestic Abuse This training course is now a 1 day course, having previously been delivered across 1.5 days. The course focuses upon the exploring the links between Domestic Abuse and Child Protection, understanding the impacts upon children. It provides an opportunity to gain an awareness of the support that is available for children, as the training is co-delivered by representatives from service providers such as Refuge and DACS. The course includes workshops and activities, which enables multi agencies to engage with specialists in this area. Child Sexual Exploitation Responsibilities, Reporting and Responding to CSE A 1 day course offered throughout the year, delivered with Barnardos who are the largest provider of CSE support services. The course provides multi-agency staff working directly with children and young people an opportunity to understand CSE, classed as a national threat to our country by the Home Office. Staff do not need to have attended the half day Raising Awareness of CSE before attending the full day course, however completion of the online elearning module is required (SCB CS155 Identifying Indicators of Child Sexual Exploitation). Child Protection Awareness (Universal) The focus continues again this year to prioritise universal Child Protection Awareness training to primarily third sector organisations and organisations that do not have the resources to meet the training needs locally. This is following a decision by the WSCB in April 2015, that universal Child Protection Training is the responsibility of each individual single agency. There are a small number of sessions available on the WSCB calendar and if you would like to discuss attending, please contact Jackie Kerby. NEW - Children at the Heart of What We Do Workshops Working in conjunction with the Multi-agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH), the 3 hour workshops have been designed to focus upon how we can best support children and their families, using the Threshold document, and key learning messages from good practice and serious case reviews.

5 The workshops are interactive, including case studies and opportunities to review how we can ensure that our children feel helped by our safeguarding processes, in particular when a disclosure is made.

18 SCB CS155 WSCB - Identifying indicators of Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) elearning WSCB have been given permission by the National Working Group to host their elearning package on Child Sexual Exploitation through Warwickshire s Interactive Learning Management system (WILMa). Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) involves young people under the age of 18 who are encouraged / forced into sexual relationships or situations by another person or persons. CSE often (but not always) involves young people being offered something in return for performing sexual acts, for example gifts, alcohol, drugs, money, love and attention. Or by being threatened, such as by violence, exposure or withdrawal of affection. The case histories show that CSE can occur in many different forms and affects young people from very different backgrounds. However, an imbalance of power between the perpetrator and victim and a means of control are common themes. There are some additional resources which we recommend you familiarise yourself with to further raise your awareness and broaden your learning. It is important to note that this is an awareness tool that highlights the warning signs that a young person may be at risk of or involved in child sexual exploitation. Target Group: WSCB recommend that this elearning module is completed by all staff from all agencies across Warwickshire whom have contact (either professionally or personally) with children and young people. Additionally, this module is to be completed prior to attending either the half or full day training course events: SCB CS164 Raising Awareness of Child Sexual Exploitation (1/2 day) SCB CS165 Child Sexual Exploitation Responsibilities, Reporting and Responding to CSE (1 day)

19 Aims: The elearning tool aims to: encourage professionals and volunteers to look for and act on these indicators dispel myths about victims and abusers identify interventions that work in different situations This session should be followed up with attendance on either half day or full day Face to Face sessions to enable further discussion and awareness raising amongst multi agencies. The session should take you no longer than 30 minutes to complete.

33 Allocation of Places Due to the popularity of some of the courses, you may receive a notification that you have been placed on a waiting list. If the course is oversubscribed, we will allocate by giving priority to promote an optimum multi-agency mix of participants to promote effective interagency working and networking opportunities. Because of this, it may not always be possible to accommodate places from groups of colleagues from the same Team/Department. If you have not been successful in getting a place, you will be notified that your name has been placed on our reserve list. The reserve list will be used as a priority for allocation of places on any additional courses that are run to meet oversubscription needs. Evaluation Evaluation of courses is very important as this data informs and shapes future training. All participants will be asked to complete a feedback form at the end of each course or conference; your comments are very much valued.
