The Derby and Derbyshire Safeguarding Children Partnership (DDSCP) delivers a wide range of multi-agency training and learning opportunities for practitioners across Derby and Derbyshire.

The Training Pathway document is currently under review and will be available shortly. 

As part of our ongoing commitment to improving safeguarding practice and aligning with national best practice, the Derby and Derbyshire Safeguarding Children Partnership (DDSCP) is transitioning from the traditional Levels 1–4 safeguarding training model to a role-based framework. This change is designed to better reflect the diverse responsibilities of practitioners and professionals working with children and young people. Further information on the changes is set out in the attached Briefing Note - Introducing new levels (Jan_26_v1).

The DDSCP recognises that effective safeguarding depends on a well-trained and competent multi-agency workforce. Through our Learning and Organisational Development Strategy, we are committed to delivering high-quality learning and development opportunities that support practitioners to work together effectively to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people. Our learning offer is available to anyone working directly or indirectly with children, young people and families across Derby and Derbyshire, including those in statutory, private, independent and voluntary sector organisations.
