Training
What training does Redbridge Safeguarding Children Partnership offer?
The Redbridge Safeguarding Children Partnership Training Programme provides courses and briefings with a focus on multi-agency training which compliments training already available within individual agencies. It not only covers child protection issues but deals with the broad area of safeguarding.
The planning and commissioning of the Training Programme has been informed by the Research in Practice (RiP) – Ensuring effective training – Briefing for LSCBs (Local Safeguarding Children Boards), 2014, which is available to LB Redbridge via the RiP website and to RSCP partners via the RSCP. The wide range of topics is based on the RSCP priorities for the year, learning from our own multi-agency audit programme and Serious Case Reviews (SCR). We also include topics where the need for multi-agency learning and development has been highlighted by service users in Redbridge, including children and young people, through consultation, complaints and general feedback.
Our training is based on principles to ensure that training is:
- Child centred and incorporates and promotes children’s rights, the child’s voice, and ensures that their welfare is treated as paramount.
- Incorporates equal opportunities and anti-oppressive practice and reflects the diversity of the communities served.
- Promotes and places the child within the family and recognises the need for working together and in partnership with parents and carers.
- Multi-agency and promotes the need for inter-agency working to safeguard children from harm.
- Evidence-based and incorporates learning from research, and service user participation.
- Incorporating and supporting a variety of learning styles including experiential and reflection.
Who can attend the learning events featured in the Training Programme?
Safeguarding children and young people is everyone’s business, which means that audiences for our training are large and diverse. The RSCP Training Programme is available to all professionals and volunteers working with children, young people and families in Redbridge across the statutory, voluntary and private sectors. Attendance at RSCP training contributes to your professional Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Following attendance, you may wish to add this to your learning record either on your employers Human Resources Data Management System (HRDMS) (e.g. iTrent) or onto any records that you keep with your professional registration body (e.g. CiPD; CMI; or Social Work England). Please note that RSCP Training Administration only keeps records for attendance on the Training Programme for the current and previous year.

How are training courses quality assured and the impact evaluated?
The RSCP Framework and Principles for Safeguarding Children Training sets out our position on the quality assurance and evaluation of the impact of training.
At the end of each course, attendees are given a Training Transfer handout bespoke to that course which will enable putting learning into practice.
The RSCP also welcome general feedback on the outcomes of training – with information on how practice has changed and outcomes for children and young people improved as a result of the training. Please send this to RedbridgeSCP.Training@redbridge.gov.uk
Who facilitates the training?
The training courses are facilitated by a variety of individual trainers, some are employed by the various partner agencies within the RSCP and others are independent and private training organisations. All training providers go through an approval process and courses are routinely independently observed for quality assurance purposes.
