Professional child protection training provides individuals and
communities with the skills, confdence, advice and support to keep
children safe. It is also an excellent opportunity for networking and
collaboration with others who work with children in your community.
As a group we came from a variety of backgrounds and employment
roles which meant we all had different experiences, perspectives and
knowledge to bring to the classroom. This was really valuable and now
means I have different networks in a variety of agencies should I ever
need to use them.
