Your Partner in Child Protection

Level 3 - Senior Leaders, DSL's and DDSL's

Level 3 - This is a 2 day course delivered online. It is aimed at those members of staff who are involved in the direct Safeguarding and Child Protection work happening day to day.

The staff m embers must have completed Level 2 prior to Level 3, so they have a clear understanding of all the forms of abuse, including what we call the sub levels of abuse, they must have knowledge of KCSiE, and all the relevant legislation and be competent in their role regarding safeguarding and child protection.

Level 3 does refresh some of the elements mentioned above, but the main body of the course is regarding ICPC, RCPC, strategy meetings, the legal requirements within these arena's and their role within that arena. To establish a good understanding of all these elements the attendees will work through a case study, so they can actually work a case, make decisions and see the relevant outcomes based on their decision making.

At the end of the two days, the attendees will be required to complete a robust assessment, which will need to be submitted within the allocated timeframe. The assessments will be marked, certificates allocated if appropriate along with an evaluation report highlighting strengths, areas of possible improvement and any concerns that may have arisen during the two days.
