Please note that if the course says FREE in the title then this course is free to everyone. However the cancellation policy still applies to free courses.

Cancellation Policy: Stoke-on-Trent SCP courses are normally oversubscribed and we usually have a waiting list in operation. If you cancel less than 2 weeks in advance you will be charged the full course fee. No charge will be made if a replacement member of staff is substituted, however this staff member must meet any course pre-requisite requirements. The Level 1 Core slides are non-refundable.

Please note that the cancellation policy still applies to FREE courses and those organisations* that receive free training.

Pre-requisits for courses

Delegates must have completed Level 1 Safeguarding Children training with either Stoke-on-Trent SCP or Staffordshire SCB. Those booking onto DSL training must have also attended Level 2 Working Together to Safeguard Children training.

Evaluation of training

Local Safeguarding Partnerships are required to evidence the impact of their work and demonstrate how practice is improved to safeguard and support children and families. In order to evidence the impact of our learning and development programme the partnership has developed an evaluation framework.

You will be required to complete a pre and post evaluation form for each course. Once you have completed the course and the post course evaluation form you will receive your certificate and a copy of the slides presented during the training.

A sample of delegates will be contacted three months post attendance at the course for a more detailed evaluation of how the practitioner is utilising the training in practice.
