Working in Partnership to recruit, develop and retain a workforce
The Surrey Children’s Services Academy (SCSA) provides a range of partnership safeguarding learning and development opportunities for people working with children, young people, and their families in Surrey.
We aim to share both national and local best practice through a range of digital and face to face workshops and learning events. This ensures that Surrey’s professionals are equipped with the knowledge and skills to safeguard children and young people in Surrey.
The ethos is that our learning is multi agency, providing professionals with a vital opportunity to learn from each other and with each other; ensuring that professionals work together and share information within the safeguarding process to ensure positive outcomes for children and families.
All of our courses can be booked or completed on MyLearning by clicking on the Children’s Services Academy tile on the homepage.
Further Guidance for accessing MyLearning can be found in the: Safeguarding Training Hub User Guide
To help you to navigate the learning and development opportunities available, we have created a SSCP Safeguarding-Training-Pathway with suggested learning content. However, each organisation may have their own guidance for staff about what safeguarding training you need to do. Therefore, speak to the safeguarding lead or training lead within your organisation to find out what applies to you.
If you are going to become the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) for your organisation or setting you are required to complete DSL: New to Role and Refresher Training. This can be accessed through Surrey Education Services for education professionals, Early Year’s Learning Portal for Early Years settings, and via MyLearning for all other professionals.
Working Together to Safeguard Children e-learning can be accessed via MyLearning or it might be provided by your agency so check with your DSL or Training Lead.
Further learning and resources are available free of cost to partners via the communities of practice on the Care Knowledge platform. Take a minute to register and access a wealth of learning, digital resources and information.
If you have any questions, please contact us.
