Multi-agency training
Over the last few decades numerous enquiries into child deaths and Serious Case Reviews have highlighted the importance of professionals sharing information and working together to protect children. The central focus of the City and Hackney Safeguarding Children Board (CHSCB) multi-agency training programme is on developing and promoting interagency work to safeguard children.
The CHSCB expects that all agencies will provide at least a basic level of child protection training to their staff to ensure that they are aware of their roles and responsibilities within their own agency in ensuring that children are safeguarded. The CHSCB training programme is designed to supplement this internal agency training and to address the importance of practitioners working effectively and collaboratively across agency boundaries to provide coherent, well-coordinated and well-planned interventions.
The courses within the multi-agency training programme are designed to assist practitioners to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes that they need in order to contribute positively to multi-agency working within the child protection field.
