Upcoming Kent Safeguarding Children Board training courses

The Kent Safeguarding Children Board will be holding two training courses over the coming months.

By the end of this course participants will be able to:

  • Introduce the concept of ‘Signs of Safety; to multi-agency staff working with children and young people
