Developing the skills of CP Conference Minute Takers

Wednesday 9th June 2010

This training event is designed to offer those who are responsible for taking minutes at a child protection conference an opportunity to explore the issues around the purpose and process of CP conferences and to enhance their skills in producing an effective and accurate record of the proceedings.

Participants will also explore the emotional impact on minute takers of the content of many CP conferences and how this can impede their primary task of minute taking.

Chairing CP Case Conferences for Experienced Chairs

Monday 12th July 2010

This one-day programme is a “refresher” opportunity for more experienced chairs that may not have had the opportunity to reflect on their practice in a group of peers with the support of an experienced facilitator. It is also particularly appropriate for those who have completed our course for new and nearly new conference chairs and who have now had some experience in this role.

It is designed to offer more experienced chairs the chance to meet with others to explore and discuss their experiences and the dilemmas that have arisen for them in the context of chairing child protection conferences.

Chairing CP Case Conferences for New Chairs

Wednesday 21st July 2010

This event is designed for new Chairs or those people expecting to take on the role of 'Chair' at Child Protection Case Conferences in the near future.

It addresses the very specific skills, responsibilities and problems faced by Chairs of these case conferences, provides an opportunity to explore the dynamics of such multi-agency meetings and how to ensure effective anti-discriminatory practice in the context of the case conference.

MAPPA Awareness for Multi-agency Professionals

Wednesday 13th October 2010

Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) establish ground breaking partnership arrangements to assess and manage the risks posed by sexual, violent and other dangerous offenders, drawing on the contribution of a wide range of agencies

This one day course will enable multi-agency professionals to have an understanding of these arrangements and the implications for practice to promote the safeguarding of children and other vulnerable victims.

If you would like us to notify you of new conferences and events as they become available then please click here.

All our events can be commissioned to be delivered 'in-house'

In-house training offers many advantages. As well as being a very cost effective way for a group to receive training, we can also tailor the content to specifically address local concerns and team issues
