- Courses run by Local Safeguarding Children Board: They offer a wide range of single agency and multi-agency courses in relation to child protection. Their courses are open
to workers from Health, CSF, Police, Probation, ACS, Housing providers and all agencies, including voluntary organisations that work with children and families in Hertfordshire.
Basic awareness raising and introductory training has to be undertaken by everyone involved with children and their parents. Training at this level will be single agency and each agency has responsibility for the delivery of courses to their own staff.
Non-statutory organisations, e.g. voluntary organisations, and Housing Providers / District Councils who do not yet provide their own induction / introductory child protection training should access courses run by the LSCB.
