The BCSSP training programme has been developed to equip people with knowledge, skills and competences to work effectively to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and adults and keep our communities safe.

All BCSSP training is centred on the lived experiences of the child or adult at risk, evidence based, promotes the need for working in partnership, and informed and governed by issues of equality and diversity.

BCSSP training is accessible to all B&NES individuals who work with children, adults at risk and /or their carers and is subjected to regular rigorous review and evaluation.

Multi–agency training

The BCSSP offers a full range of multi-agency training opportunities which promote and reflect the principles of multi-agency working. Undertaking training in mixed groups allows people to share their experience and learn from each other, this practice of collaboration enables more effective working and the quality of care and outcome for those with whom we work is improved.

Single-agency training

Agencies and work-setting can purchase safeguarding training specifically for their own staff group, using a trainer that is approved by the Partnership.
