Safeguarding training Click here
Safeguarding training: There are 10 places earmarked per course for VCS organisations who completed HCVS Group A training – email alice.tomlinson@hackney.gov.uk
The Group A course is called Safeguarding Children- A shared responsibility and participants must have completed this course before they can apply to do Group B courses such as Working together to safeguard children- sharing responsibilities.
Therefore, when you are advertising our course please state this and please also stress that it is a 2 day course and that both days must be attended in order to receive a certificate. This is very important as we have had a number of people from the voluntary sector attending the training without having completed the Group A course and/or were unaware that the course was for 2 days.
