Designated Safeguarding Lead training
This 2-day training course explores in depth process, culture, risk assessment, the organisation and a root cause analysis approach to reflection. Whilst safeguarding training is a key requirement for all, this learning often does not provide the further skills around analysis and communication to feel confident in such important judgement calls when staff and young people depend on us.

Learning Outcomes:
- Enhance safeguarding analysis skills
- Write effective referrals
- Communicate with local authorities

Safer Recruitment training
This course, delivered over two half-day sessions, is aimed at managers and staff within organisations who are responsible for recruiting staff to work with children and vulnerable adults.
People in any organisation can use their position of trust to abuse vulnerable children and adults. Others do not hold true to their values and neglect the people they work with or fail to speak up. This course looks at how to run a recruitment process that puts as many barriers in the way of potential abusers as possible in order to keep service users safe. Reduced price for Devon SCP participants £120+vat per person.
The course covers:
- Safer recruitment and the wider context of safeguarding
- Prevalence of abuse and profile of abusers
- How abusers operate within organisations
- Features of a safer recruitment process

- Maintaining an ongoing culture of vigilance
