Course Information:
Child Protection training for schools, charities, solicitors, and organisations working with children.
WillisPalmer are delighted to announce a new training course designed to assist organisations working with children to better understand child protection and safeguarding concerns.
This half day course involves the participation of all attendees through a role play exercise and takes the form of a mock Child Protection Conference using a strengths based approach, with each person being assigned the role of a professional or family member who would usually attend such a meeting. Facilitated by our Head of Practice, who is an experienced social worker and ex-Children's Guardian, you and your team will be expertly guided through the process, learning about what life is like for the child at the centre of the conference.
