Safeguarding Children Multi-Agency Training & Development Service
 |
Welcome to the Sheffield Safeguarding Children Training & Development Service
Our Aim
We aim to provide high quality, multi-agency, safeguarding children training and development opportunities.
The Sheffield Safeguarding Children Board Training and Development Project has a long record of providing high quality multi-agency child protection training. The Project Manager delivers most of the training with members of a Multi-Agency Training Pool. Specialist trainers assist in the delivery of the Disabled Children, Domestic Abuse and Parental Mental Health training. The SSCB Substance Misuse Service delivers the Substance Misuse training.
Training by the Project is always delivered in the spirit of the following Principles:
Child Centred
All aspects of inter-agency training and development activity to safeguard and promote children’s well being are child centred, incorporate their rights and needs and ensure that their welfare is paramount.
Partnership
All aspects of inter-agency training and development activity to safeguard and promote children’s well being respect diversity and promote partnership, recognising families’ strengths in responding to the needs of their children.
Inclusion
Inter-agency training and development activity is inclusive of the wide range of individuals and organisations that play a role in safeguarding and promoting the well being of all children.
Collaboration
Inter-agency training and development activity values people working collaboratively, bringing people together in groups which mirror the diversity of practice networks engaged with children and their families. (Promoting Inter-Agency Training 2002)
‘I am in no doubt that effective support for children and families cannot be achieved by a single agency acting alone. It depends on a number of agencies working well together. It is a multi-disciplinary task’.
Lord Laming
Victoria Climbié Inquiry 2003
‘Professional staff who come into contact with children should know of the predisposing factors and signs and indicators of child abuse. They should be able to exercise professional skill in terms of effective information sharing and the ability to analyse this information. They should also have the knowledge and skills to collaborate with other agencies and disciplines in order to safeguard the welfare of children’.
