The learning supports all who work to safeguard and promote the welfare of children & young people.\r\nLearning, development and training opportunities can support individuals, managers and organisations in understanding and undertaking their safeguarding roles and responsibilities in a confident, competent and committed manner.\r\nThe responsibility for organising safeguarding learning belongs to individual organisations. However, there are a range of specialist safeguarding events and other related learning that can support multi–agency safeguarding across Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland.\r\nThese pages provide local training opportunities and resources to support learning. Within this section, you can find information on upcoming training events that you can book on to and a variety of resources. Please note that when you book through these pages we might use some of the information you provide to invite you to upcoming events, and/or use this information to provide statistics for your Local Authority.\r\nThe LSCP ‘Multi-Agency Training’ is funded by both LSCP boards & local partners. Therefore, the programme is designed to meet the learning needs within Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland. To be sustainable, there may be a charge to attend and this is set out in the Charging Policy." } ] } ] ```
