DDSCP Training Courses and Events

The Derby and Derbyshire Safeguarding Children Partnership provides general and specialist courses to help build staff skills, knowledge, values and confidence when working with children, young people and families.

The training offer consists of a blended approach of events (virtual and classroom based), e-learning courses, videos and briefings. Training is co-delivered by the DDSCP Training Officer and a multi-agency pool of specialist facilitators.

Multi-agency training is available for volunteers and practitioners working across Derby and Derbyshire only. Any organisations or agencies outside of Derby and Derbyshire who would like to access our training should contact the Partnership via DDSCPTraining@derby.gov.uk

Not sure what training you need?

If you are not sure what training you require, please speak to your organisation in the first instance. Agencies are expected to provide safeguarding training for their staff relevant to their role. It is not the DDSCP’s responsibility to provide assurance of staff.

Please ensure that you have carefully read the Multi-Agency Training Pathway document before booking onto a multi-agency course.

To support you, please follow these steps:

First step

• Consider your specific work role with children, young people and their families and reflect on your learning needs.

Second step

• Decide which courses are relevant to your role. Discuss and agree with your line manager which training course is appropriate to attend. 

Third step

• Apply for a course through our online booking system. 

An automatic email will be sent to you and your line manager confirming your booking. If you do not receive a booking confirmation, then you have not been successful in securing a place and should not attend training.

Automatic emails will also be sent if you cancel your booking or fail to attend. These emails will also be sent to your Line Manager. For all staff working for the Statutory Partners, non-attendance will be followed up by your agency.
