This training is delivered over two evenings and you MUST attend both. It is also recommended that Designated Officers have taken a Child Protection course in the past 3 years.

This course will enable you to become familiar with the role and responsibilities of the Designated Child Protection Officer and develop competence and confidence in carrying out this role.

Those who have operational responsibility for receiving concerns about the safety and welfare of children and young people, and who make decisions about what action needs to be taken, will find this course invaluable.
