3 INTRODUCTION The welfare and safety of children and young people in Shropshire is paramount. Everyone who works with children has a responsibility for keeping them safe. Shropshire Safeguarding Children Board (SSCB) has a range of roles and statutory functions including developing local safeguarding policy and procedures and scrutinising local arrangements. This includes policy and procedure in relation to the training of persons who work with children or in services affecting the safety and welfare of children and monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of this training. No single professional can have a full picture of a child s needs and circumstances and, if children and families are to receive the right help at the right time, everyone who comes into contact with them has a role to play in identifying concerns, sharing information and taking prompt action. In order that organisations and practitioners collaborate effectively, it is vital that every individual working with children and young people or their families is aware of their own role and the role of other professionals in order to safeguard children. In addition, effective safeguarding requires clear local arrangements for collaboration between professionals and agencies. There should be a culture of continuous learning and improvement across the organisations that work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. Professionals and organisations need to reflect on their practice, identify opportunities to share and promote good practice so that there is a growing understanding of what works well. Conversely, when things go wrong there needs to be a rigorous, objective analysis of what happened and why, so that important lessons can be learnt and services improved to reduce the risk of future harm to children. The SSCB Training Strategy applies to the training and development necessary for both staff and volunteers for them to effectively safeguard and promote the welfare of children. This strategy builds on the partnership arrangements already in place to deliver the Workforce Strategy. SSCB training is based on the model on the following page, which forms part of the Children s Workforce Strategy approach to identifying the organisation of training. All organisations should identify the training needs of all staff and have learning and development plans in place. All safeguarding training sits within one of the following tiers, Mandatory Induction, Universal, Targeted or Specialist training. Examples of target groups for each tier are given on page 5. Suggested Learning Outcomes to support single agency training can found in SSCB Training Strategy which can be accessed on the Training Page of the SSCB website 3

Each year around 2.1 million people (men and women) in England and Wales suffer some form of domestic abuse. On average high risk victims live with domestic violence abuse for 2.6 years before seeking help and 23% of those victims attend A&E as a result of their injuries in the year before they get help. This course will cover the following outcomes: Explain what domestic violence and abuse is and identify who is at risk Describe the physical and psychological effects of domestic violence and abuse Classify the behaviours displayed by an abusive person Explain the impact of domestic violence and abuse on children young people and vulnerable adults Outline the MARAC process Describe best practices for supporting those experiencing domestic violence Certification The course comes with an online assessment and certificate on achieving a satisfactory pass mark.

Duration Approximately 45 minutes - 1 hour. The length of time taken depends entirely on how quickly you can study and absorb the material. You can proceed as quickly or slowly as you like. esafety Guidance for Practitioners Technology is affecting younger age groups. Whereas earlier generations had to be content with dressing up as a cowboy or princess, nowadays instead of using toy guns, boys and girls are armed with games consoles, mobile phones and the monster weapon that is the internet. Children don t only have access to technologies at home; ICT is embedded across the curriculum, so with such exposure children typically have a lot of confidence. However, their knowledge of the risks and dangers may not be high. As the internet is available in many places; anyone who works with children has a role to play in providing esafety education as well as supporting parents in providing a safe home environment. By completing this course, learners will: Develop awareness of different ways in which children and young people use the internet and mobile technology Develop awareness of the possible risks to children and young people when using different methods of online and mobile communication Be able to identify key esafety practices of which children and young people should be aware Know how to report abusive behaviour online Know what to do if a child discloses an experience of abusive online behaviour Be aware of further online esafety support Certification The course comes with an online assessment and certificate on achieving a satisfactory pass mark. Duration Approximately 1-2 hours. The length of time taken depends entirely on how quickly you can study and absorb the material. You can proceed as quickly or slowly as you like. Equality & Inclusion in Health, Social Care or Children s and Young People s Settings This module has been designed to provide learners with the knowledge and skills required to promote and implement equality and inclusion.

Hidden Harm the effect of parental drug and alcohol misuse on children This course provides a general overview of problematic drug and alcohol use, who it affects and how. The course also explains common ways in which parents can be assessed and what risk and protective factors may exist. Potential strategies for improving outcomes for children are also explored. Thousands of adults in the UK are classed as being problematic drug or alcohol users. A range of services are in place to assist them, but historically their children could easily be overlooked. However, government guidance now specifically aims to support affected children and this course aims to raise awareness of the key issues, as well as equip you to take appropriate action. This course maps to DANOS, the Drug and Alcohol National Occupational Standards. The content of this e-learning course includes: Overview of the hidden harm of parental drug and alcohol misuse Impact on families and children Assessing parental and family needs Opportunities to influence the outcomes for children How to engage positively with families.

Mental Distress and its Impact on Parenting The course will help learners to understand the causes and symptoms of a variety of common mental health problems parents may have. It will aid an appreciation of the needs and experiences faced by different groups, and know how to advise and support parents and their children. 14

15 Living with a parent or carer who has mental health problems does not necessarily mean a child will suffer abuse, but there is a risk that there will be a negative impact. In this module we explore the challenges that different mental health issues pose, as well as a range of best practice tools which can be used to assess the needs of parents and support the welfare of children. In order to put the issues into context learners can drop in to follow the story of one parent, Elena, as she firstly experiences mental distress and subsequently accesses services tailored to her needs. Certification The course comes with an online assessment and certificate on achieving a satisfactory pass mark. Duration Approximately 1 ½ hours. The length of time taken depends entirely on how quickly you can study and absorb the material. You can proceed as quickly or slowly as you like. Safer Working Practices The starting point for this module is to look at why you need to undertake training on the protection of children and young people. All adults who come into contact with children in their work have a duty of care to safeguard and promote their welfare. Practitioners have a key role in shaping the futures of young people. The vast majority of adults working with young children act professionally to provide a safe and supportive environment. However, in this area of work, tensions and misunderstandings can occur; the answer is not to work in a bubble. We have learnt from many adults, they are inadequately informed about their responsibilities and, as a result, they may unintentionally avoid certain practices completely. This should not be the case and this module aims to outline clearly what behaviours are and are not acceptable. On completion of this module learners will have covered these learning objectives: Increased your awareness of issues relating to allegations management Identified signs of inappropriate adult behaviour towards children and young people Gained confidence in challenging inappropriate behaviour Increased your awareness of how to ensure children and young people with whom we work are protected Understood the importance of sharing information appropriately and keeping records Understood your responsibility to ensure your behaviour is professional at all times Certification The course comes with an online assessment and certificate on achieving a satisfactory pass mark. Duration With 40 interactive screens, it is estimated that this module will take approximately 1-1 ½ hours to complete (depending on learning speed). As an e-learning module you can complete this training in convenient stages. The system will record your progress throughout. Safeguarding Children and Young People from Abuse by Sexual Exploitation In light of recent high profile developments in this important area of child protection, we have updated this awareness-raising course to reflect the latest research, governmental guidance and best practice. The course has been developed in Partnership with Just Whistle, PACE, Bradford and Lincolnshire Safeguarding Children Boards. 15

16 As well as the relevant legislation and guidance that applies to vulnerable groups and how these policies can be applied in practice, it explains risk assessments and key vulnerability factors whilst covering the roles of various agencies such as the police and social care so you know what your responsibilities are. The training material also includes scenarios to help you to think about what you would do in a real world situation.
