Coventry Safeguarding Children Board
Inter-agency Training
Programme 2017/18

Foreword
Welcome to the 2017-2018 Inter-agency training programme.
Coventry Safeguarding Children Board continues to provide a programme of training for staff working with
children, young people and their parents and carers in Coventry in order to ensure that they have the skills,
knowledge and qualities required to safeguard and protect those who are vulnerable.
A wide range of courses are available covering key aspects of safeguarding children that are important for
Coventry at this time. Key messages include the importance of professionals understanding and listening to
the voices of children in Coventry.
There is good evaluation of training, which was endorsed by the recent Local Government Association
Diagnostic, which shows that the multi-agency training in Coventry does improve outcomes for children
and young people. The process is an essential part of the programme with courses being selected each
term for post-course follow up by those attending and their managers, to assess impact on practice and the
safeguarding of children. Examples are included in the Safeguarding Board’s Annual Report. Feedback is
also used to review courses provided and their content.
The Learning and Development Committee is committed to ensuring that training is up to date and relevant
for professionals. Courses are constantly updated and reviewed in the light of Coventry experiences,
serious case reviews, audits and research. If there are any gaps in the programme we would be happy to
hear from you.
All courses are delivered by local experienced and knowledgeable practitioners (level 1 and 2) and local
and national specialist trainers (level 3 specialist course). If your organisation has specialist knowledge and
you would like to be part of the team delivering training in Coventry your contributions will be valued.
If you wish to contact us regarding gaps in the programme or to be part of the training team, please contact
Anne Pluska, Training Officer, contact details on page 3.

Welcome and general information
The Safeguarding Boards Training Officer, Anne Pluska, would like to welcome you to the sixteenth
Coventry Safeguarding Children Board inter-agency training programme.
The majority of Coventry inter-agency courses are delivered through a workshop model and are designed
to be inter-active and promote shared learning. Government guidance, the latest legislation and the
Coventry Safeguarding Children Board’s Inter-Agency Child Protection Procedures inform them. The
courses highlight best practice and the lessons learned from audits and serious case reviews
As trainers and course organisers we actively promote anti-discriminatory practice throughout all
Coventry inter-agency training. We work to provide a balanced mix of participants on the courses to fully
promote multi-agency working in order to safeguard children across the city. The training courses provide
valuable opportunities for practitioners and managers to come together in a stimulating and safe learning
environment to share knowledge and experience and to build those relationships that promote the well
being and safety of the children of Coventry.
If you are working with children, young people and their families, whatever your job or role, including
services primarily supporting parents with their own health needs that may impact upon their ability to care
for their child; these training courses are designed with you in mind.
The Coventry Safeguarding Children Board is a body made up from all the local agencies with responsibility
for promoting the safety and well being of children and young people in the City of Coventry. This includes
Health, Education, Schools, the Police, Probation, Social Care, the NSPCC, Youth Offending Service,
CAFCASS and Community Services.
It is the aim of the Coventry Safeguarding Children Board to raise awareness and understanding of the
need for all adults to work together to create a city where children and young people are listened to, valued
and protected, making safeguarding children everyone’s business.
The current structure has been in place since the Children Act 1989, and of course inter-agency working
has existed far longer than that. Following the Laming Enquiry into the death of Victoria Climbié, the
Children Act 2004 places a duty on all agencies to co-operate to improve the well being of children. Local
Safeguarding Boards have statutory powers to ensure that agencies work together, and senior officers will
be directly responsible for the performance of their organisation.
The focus of the inter-agency training programme is primarily the areas where professionals
from different agencies are brought together to work collaboratively. The target audience is:

Practitioners and managers from the statutory, voluntary and independent agencies who work with children and families
 People working with adults where there are children in the home
5
Training and development framework
It is for managers to decide the appropriate level of training to meet the needs of their staff, as indicated by
their level of responsibility in working with children, and whether this training is done through single or interagency training.
Training is available at a number of levels to address the learning needs of staff, based on their degree of
contact with children and/or parents/carers and their level of responsibility.
(see Inter-agency Safeguarding Children Framework page 7).
Working Together (2010) identifies eight groups of worker to assist with identification of learning
and development needs.
(see pages 8-15 Inter-agency Framework for responsibilities and suggested minimum training content and
method for each of these groups).
For Health Agencies refer to the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health Intercollegiate
Document (2014) and each Health Agency’s specific strategy.
All staff working with children need to have an understanding of the Common Assessment Framework and
its assessment thresholds.
General advice is available from the Safeguarding Boards Training Officer and members of the Learning
and Development Sub-Committee. However, for advice on your own agency’s guidelines around training
please speak to your designated staff member.
The Learning and Development Sub-Committee will recommend standards in safeguarding children training
to all agencies for use in the provision of in-house training. However, it is not the responsibility of the
sub-committee to make sure that this in-house training takes place.
