Wakefield Safeguarding Children’s Board Course Information Suitability of Course It is very important that applicants apply for the right courses to suit their role, level of experience and knowledge. Therefore, applicants should carefully read the description of courses, to be sure that a particular course meets their own training and development needs. The Training Team welcomes pro- spective participants making contact if they wish to discuss further the content and appropriateness of the courses. Managers need to ensure that they only support applications for courses that reflect the applicant’s job role or level of experience. Training places are prioritized at those who need it most. At times, if the Safeguarding Children Board feels that, you have applied for a course that may not be relevant for your position; we will contact you or your manager to discuss this. NB: All Safeguarding Children Board taught courses require applicants to have a basic understanding of child abuse and neglect, gained either through work experience, or through a course such as the Safeguarding Children Board’s online course, or one that has been provided by their own agency. Accessibility and Additional Learning Needs Every effort will be made to ensure that our training is accessible to everyone. Please contact the Training Team if you wish to discuss your individual needs. We welcome feedback in relation to accessibility. Course Evaluation Participants will have the opportunity to evaluate each course and to comment on the quality of the courses. The evaluations as used as part of the quality assurance of the course and to measure the im- pact on learning and practice. By attending one of our courses you are agreeing to us contacting you at some stage in the future to evaluate the impact that the training has had on your practice in the longer term, although we do not contact every delegate. Certification Certificates of Attendance will only be issued to participants who are present for the entire course. Candidates MUST sign the register of attendance, as without this, the certificate cannot be issued. Safeguarding Week and National Awareness Raising Days In addition to the training calendar the WDSCB will seek to recognize and promote opportunities for cross partnership working. This includes our commitment to the annual West Yorkshire safeguarding week and also learning events linked to national awareness raising days such as CSE and Domestic Abuse. 7 Wakefield Safeguarding Children’s Board VCS Voluntary Community Sector Wakefield LSCB recognises the work that is done by the VCS to support children and young people and is proud and committed to be working together with the vibrant Voluntary Community Sector in Wakefield.
