DDSCP Training Courses and Events

The Derby and Derbyshire Safeguarding Children Partnership provides general and specialist courses to help build staff skills, knowledge, values and confidence when working with children, young people and families.

Multi-agency training is available for volunteers and practitioners working across Derby and Derbyshire only. Any organisations or agencies outside of Derby and Derbyshire who would like to access our training should contact the Partnership via DDSCPTraining@derby.gov.uk

Courses are provided by a multi-agency pool of specialist trainers.

There are high quality additional training resources that have been developed to help you cover topics in your setting with staff and in some cases children and young people.

A list of courses available can be found on the booking system or in the DDSCP Course Calendar January – December 2023.
