Training

Welcome to TSCP training area.

If you work for or volunteer with a service in the Tameside where you come into direct contact with children, young people and their families, you can access and book onto a range of face-to-face and online training courses relevant to safeguarding children.

Multi-agency training helps practitioners and volunteers understand their roles, responsibilities and safeguarding procedures; and creates a shared understanding of assessment and decision-making practices. It is important that when selecting training courses, you check that the course content is relevant to your role, experience and responsibilities. By checking the learning aims and objectives you can establish if the course will meet your requirements from a safeguarding perspective. Some of the courses may require you to complete eLearning before attending a face-to-face event. 

TSCP have developed a Learning and Development Framework.  which shares how the partnership will quality assure, and review learning delivered to everyone who works and volunteers with children, young people and their families. 

Book a Course

We offer free multi-agency training programmes to practitioners and volunteers who work with children and or their families in Tameside. Our training offer includes face to face and online training to assist practitioners in understanding their roles and responsibilities and create a shared understanding of assessment and decision-making practices.

It will also mean that your course attendance history will be held on Eventbrite under your log in details.

Learning from Practice

When something happens that shows partner services have not worked together to effectively safeguard adults or children, we aim to ‘learn from practice’ and improve so that similar issues do not occur in the future.
