Bath and North East Somerset  Local Safeguarding Children Board 

Inter-agency Safeguarding Children Training Programme 2008 – 2009 

Allocation of Places

A percentage of places on each course are reserved for LSCB members. However there are also places put aside for voluntary and other organisations on each course.

Although a place on any course cannot be guaranteed, you are advised to note dates in your diary for the course[s] you have applied for and send in your application as soon as possible.

Following the closing date, all applications will be considered and you will be notified in writing if you have been successful in securing a place. If you have not had confirmation in writing two weeks prior to the course, then please contact Nikki Bennett.

Places on each course are limited and so if you are ill or otherwise unable to attend for any reason, please contact Nikki Bennett or make arrangements for someone to attend in your stead, as there will be a charge of £50.00 levied for any non-attendance. The charge will be made to your manager/agency who will be notified of your non-attendance and the reason for the charge.

Charges for Attendance by non-funding agencies

There is a charge for people attending courses that do not financially contribute to the ACPC training programme.

Attendance on the Introduction to Child Protection course is free. All other courses attract a fee of £90.00 per person per day.

Cancellation

The full cost of single agency training will be payable in the event of cancellation unless at least 2 weeks notice is given.

Individuals who have booked places on courses and then unable to attend will be charged £50.00 unless at least 24 hour notice is given (on the day is NOT acceptable) or a substitute is arranged by the participant.

Evaluation

Participants may be required to complete a pre- and post course questionnaire. The post course questionnaire will be completed with participants line manager to evaluate the impact of the training on practice. Participants will also be asked to complete an evaluation form at the end of the course.

Number of participants per course

Normally, a maximum of 22 people per course is accepted. In exceptional circumstances and where the training facility will allow, a higher number may be admitted to a course. This will be up to the discretion of the Training Co-ordinator.
