LSCB and Multi Agency Safeguarding Training

Welcome to the new combined Swindon Local Safeguarding Children Board Child Protection Training Multi Agency Training Programme for 2010/11

This is the first time that we have combined the two training programmes and we hope that it will help you when choosing which course(s) to apply for.

The Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) came into being in January 2006 replacing the Area Child Protection Committee. The Training Sub group is responsible for identifying training needs and managing/delivering the LSCB training programme to all staff across Swindon. This includes the statutory, voluntary and independent sectors.

Training Programme

The LSCB and Multi Agency Training Programme is described in detail in the pages in this section.

Key Contacts

Each LSCB member agency has a Link Person whose role is to co-ordinate and prioritise safeguarding training according to need in their agency. The LSCB Training Manager co-ordinates and prioritises training for agencies if they do not have a Link Person.

The Multi Agency Training Co-ordinators work to ensure that each agency is represented on the courses by maintaining close working relationships with local organisations and assessing attendance over the course of the year to identify gaps in agency attendance.
