Multi-agency training is co-developed with partners and adults with lived experience to help practitioners, care providers and volunteers to understand their roles, responsibilities and safeguarding procedures; which creates a shared understanding of assessment and decision making practices. Training can be face to face, online or a combination of both.
The learning from practice resources look at the outcomes from a range of SARs, reviews and audits both locally and nationally, and how we can use these valuable lessons to improve our practice.
