Keeping Children Safe: Designated Officer Refresher Training

Keeping Children Safe: Designated Officer Refresher Training: This is a half day’s refresher training for Designated Officers who have already attended a full day’s training.

• The role and responsibilities of the Designated Officer
• Health and Social Care Trusts structures and processes
• Issues and experiences around referrals and sharing information
• Recent developments in safeguarding children and young people.

Participants should ensure their basic awareness training is also refreshed every three years (or earlier if required).
