4 City of York Safeguarding Children Board Learning and Development 2014 Introduction Those working, either paid or voluntary, with children, young people, families and/or with adults who may be parents or carers will know that legislative and policy frameworks can change rapidly. In March 2013, the government published the new Working Together (2013) statutory guidance, which replaces previous versions (most recently, 2010), and is heavily influenced by the Munro Review of Child Protection (2011). The CYSCB reviewed its training and development provision throughout The purpose is to ensure that there is a multi-agency training, learning and development offer that can reflect current legislation and guidance, be informed by the latest research and reviews of practice (including serious case reviews nationally and locally) and fit the needs of an evolving workforce. CYSCB Training, learning and development The CYSCB aims to offer a variety of learning events that are child centred, relevant and responsive to the needs of the workforce. The new programme puts practice at the centre, and gives practitioners the opportunity to take ownership and, perhaps, leadership of their own learning, with support from the safeguarding board. We continue to develop events, and want you to participate in identifying the learning you want to see included in this programme. The programme will evolve and will be available online. 4

7 EVENT STYLE We are developing a variety of different types of events which better reflect work styles, and enable us to be more responsive in delivering one off events as required. Some of the events require participants to take leadership roles and/or have a far more active role in directing their own learning than traditional taught courses. Bite size or ½ day briefings: Speaker led, short sessions (2-3 hours), with numbers and targeted audience varying according to subject area, for a range of purposes, including: raising awareness of current issues; disseminating key messages from research and guidance; learning lessons from serious case or other reviews; and, improving knowledge and use of procedure, practice guidance or practice tools etc. Practice seminars/learning groups: Practitioner led, short sessions (breakfast, lunch or teatime), for small (up to 8/10) groups, targeted according to subject area, where colleagues can discuss areas of practice where there have been successes and challenges, and identify outcomes achieved. Practitioners will lead the discussion, developing their own case study in the identified area of practice, posing questions and identifying learning points and solutions. Other attendees are required to have reflected on cases in their own practice which may be similar, and to contribute to discussion. Practice forum: Group led, short sessions, for a wide range of practitioners and managers interested in understanding differing perspectives on issues and good practice across sectors. Participants agree contact and inputs, with potential for rotating organisational and administrative aspects of the sessions. The purpose is to support better awareness of services, roles and responsibilities, and help to address barriers to good multi-agency working. Masterclass: Facilitator led, half day or 1-day sessions for larger groups of practitioners and managers, targeted according to subject area, which allow participants to gain knowledge from more experienced colleagues, time for one-to-one discussion and space to reflect on 7

8 challenges and issues. Masterclasses are in-depth, interactive, focusing on specific areas of practice and role development and offer practical teaching and coaching through lecture, case study exercises and groupwork. Conference: LSCB led, 1-day events for a large group of delegates from a wide range of agencies (possibly targeted according to subject area), addressing key priorities for the LSCB, using nationally recognised, authoritative speaker and, quality inputs (perhaps including drama) and other innovative techniques. Short multi-agency training courses: Trainer led, 1-day sessions, for groups of up to 25 practitioners and/or managers (depending on focus). Content and target audience vary according to subject focus. Courses reflect longer term priorities for the LSCB. ½ day session content includes awareness, knowledge and tools based learning, with the primary purpose to improve identification, multi-agency responses and use of procedures and practice guidance. 1 day session content includes knowledge, tools and some skills based learning, with the primary purpose to improve multi-agency practice and interventions. Joint and multi-agency advanced practice training courses Trainer led, often commissioned from external providers, with group size, target audience, course length and content varying according to the subject focus. Courses may be tailored around specific areas of practice to enable practitioners to work together to deliver services at a more advanced level, e.g. practitioners working together on high risk cases. 8
