1. INTRODUCTION
New on-line booking system:From April 2016, there will be changes to the way that you book onto courses with Islington Safeguarding Children Board as we change to an online booking system.
This means that you will need to book onto any courses that you wish to attend and for which you are legible to attend. Paper booking forms are no longer being accepted. Apart from course bookings, you will also be able to complete course evaluations and download certificates and course materials from the portal.
A separate user guide is available on the ISCB website to explain how to set up your user account and book onto courses.
New courses:There are some changes to the ISCB training offer this year as we refocus on mitigating the impact of parental factors such as domestic abuse, mental health and substance misuse, on children and young people. There will be a new 2-day course called ‘Parental factors and safeguarding’ which will replace the 3 separate courses that we have previously delivered on each of the parental factor areas. We hope that the new course will allow us to focus on the cumulative impact of parental factors upon children and young people and how the multi-agency network can work with families to mitigate the impact of these factors.

2. MULTI-AGENCY FOCUS
All ISCB courses are designed and delivered to promote multi-agency learning and development in line with the guidance laid out in Competence Still Matters and supports one of the primary duties of the Children Act (2004): to ensure local authorities and key agencies work together to improve outcomes for children.
3 COMPETENCE STILL MATTERS (2014) GROUPS
Competence Still Matters groups audiences together based on their degree of contact with children and/or parents/carers and their levels of responsibility. There are eight groups:
Group No Description Example*
Group 1 Staff in infrequent contact with
children, young people and/or
parents/carers who may become
aware of possible abuse or neglect.
Maintenance staff, receptionists,
administrators
Group 2 Those in regular contact or have a
period of intense but irregular
contact, with children, young people
and/or parents/carers who may be in
a position to identify concerns about
maltreatment, including those that
may arise from the use of an Early
Help Assessment.
librarian in children’s library, practice
nurses, healthcare assistant
Group 3 Members of the workforce who
work predominantly with children,
young people and/or their
parents/carers and who could
potentially contribute to assessing,
planning, intervening and reviewing
the needs of a child and parenting
capacity where there are
safeguarding concerns.
those working in the early years
sector, residential staff, midwives,
school nurses, health visitors, sexual
health staff, teachers,

or 4
Group 7 Senior managers responsible for the
strategic management of services;
NHS board members.
Group 8 Members of the LSCB Board partners, sub-group members,
ISCB business unit.
*N.B these are illustrative examples, not an exhaustive list.
The framework outlines both content and training methods for each group, together with
the responsibilities of the ISCB, partners and strategic partners such as the Children and
Families Partnership Board.
5
ISCB partners should use the framework to ensure that their employees, commissioned
services and volunteers receive timely, appropriate training whether provided in-house, by
the ISCB or by other training providers.
The ISCB should use the framework to inform the development of local, multi-agency
training programmes. The table will also be used to develop audit tools to measure the
quantity and quality of single and multi-agency training provision within any borough.
The focus should be on the outcomes indicated against the content for each of the eight
groups. Employers and the ISCB should ensure that specific or specialist topics are covered
(for example, impact of parental mental health, domestic violence, substance misuse, sexual
exploitation). Training programmes should be continually revised to include ISCB priorities,
lessons from local reviews, national SCRs, research and other inquiries.
4.TRAINING REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH GROUP
Many groups are required to undergo training related to their own level of responsibility, in
addition to some of the training aimed at the lower levels. Courses are developed in such a
way that earlier courses must be attended before progressing to higher level courses. For
example, professionals in Group 2, should have completed Group 1 courses before applying
for group 2 courses:

Information for Participants and ManagersBookings:
Managers should ensure when considering a request from a member of staff/volunteer for a course that the course is appropriate and relevant to their role and responsibilities. Mangers should also ensure that participants have sufficient time to attend identified courses, and ensure that post course supervision embeds the learning. Please note that for some courses, there will be pre-requisites to applying and attending the training.
Confirmation:If you have a place on the training event you will receive a confirmation email. This will be sent out at least 7 days before the training event and you will need to bring this to the training event. If you need confirmation earlier than this please let us know. As our training events are often oversubscribed, if you do not receive a confirmation email it means that you have not been allocated a place on the course you have requested. An alternative date will be offered where possible. If your manager has booked a place on your behalf, they will receive details about your booking, e.g. that your place is confirmed or not.
Attendance:Prompt attendance is required for all courses; latecomers will not be admitted later than 15 minutes after the advertised start time. It is disruptive to other participants and the facilitators when participants straggle in.
Please ensure that you are free to attend the course you have applied for. If you miss any part of the course by arriving late or leaving early we will not issue a course certificate.
CancellationYou must give at least 3 working days notice if you are unable to attend a training event. If it is possible to find a replacement from your agency because the course is relevant to them and they meet any entrance pre-requisites, please inform us of the change. Our courses are often over-subscribed and if we know in advance that you or a replacement cannot attend we can offer your place to someone else.
We may, on rare occasions, have to cancel a course when confirmed course bookings are low. If this happens we will try to reschedule.
Charge for Course Non-AttendanceWe offer all of our courses for free to ensure that everyone can attend. Because of the limited number of places on training events non-attendance without substitution or notification will be reported to your manager and your organisation will be charged a minimum of £50.00 payable at the end of the financial year. Please ensure that you/your staff attend the course when you/they have signed up for it. If individuals/teams persistently fail to turn up or cancel within the agreed time limit, they may only be offered reserve places on subsequent bookings/courses.
8
Evaluation and Quality Assurance:We welcome all feedback as this helps us to develop and update future training. By applying for an ISCB course, you agree to complete an evaluation after the course, including a post course evaluation after 3 months. Certificates will only be given once evaluations have been completed and returned.
The ISCB Training & Professional Development Sub-Group has introduced a Quality Assurance Framework for all single and multi-agency child protection courses. This may mean that the course you are attending may be observed by a member of this group in order to assess the quality of training being delivered. The course trainer will let you know if an observation is planned for the course you are attending.
Refreshments:Hot refreshments are provided at mid-morning and mid-afternoon breaks. Please note that lunch is not provided

GROUPS 2-5
Introduction to Neglect
Aims:Improving outcomes for children in relation to childhood neglect is a key priority for Islington Children Safeguarding Board. Neglect is not a static, single event but a cumulative process that occurs over time. Professionals may struggle with those cases when there is a period where the level of care at home is not quite good enough to meet the child’s needs but not quite poor enough to justify statutory intervention. In order to support practitioners working with children and young people at all developmental stages, we are offering a module of training around Neglect which starts with an Introduction to Neglect and is followed by 3 additional courses which focus on Neglect and its impact on children and young people through their developmental stages: - early years, the middle years and adolescence.
This 1-day introductory course aims to raise awareness of the: Signs and symptoms of neglect Impact neglect has on children
Learning Outcomes:By the end of this course, participants will be able to: Identify and assess neglect using the ISCB Child Neglect Toolkit Identify the short and long term effects of neglect on the child’s development,

GROUPS 2-5
Neglect and Attachment in the Early Years
Aims:‘We know that younger children experience neglect more than any other age group (NSPCC) and are also the most likely to suffer the most devastating consequences or die as a result. This makes it even more important that professionals working with neglected children in their early years intervene early and use clearly focused resources to maximise the potential for successful outcomes. It also means that it is important to intervene in the same developmental phase as the neglect is experienced to effect the required change. We also know that neglect has a damaging effect on teenagers (Stein et al 2009) and that long term impact leads to serious long term outcomes.’ (Child and Family Training 2012). It is therefore crucial for training on neglect to address assessment and impact at each stage of a child’s development.
This 1 day course will support practitioners in considering the importance of attachment and its meaning in family and community structures in order to gain an understanding of the impact of neglect on babies and children aged 0 -5.
Learning Outcomes: By the end of this course, participants will be able to: Describe 3 indicators of neglect for babies and children aged 0 -5 Assess the extent and nature of babies and young children’s developmental
needs Assess the quality of attachments Develop effective intervention strategies to address the risk of neglect for
children within this age range. Describe how to review outcomes and measure the success of planned
interventions.
Who is this course for? Groups 2 - 5. All professionals working with babies and children aged 0 – 5 across universal, targeted and specialist services. This course is aimed at professionals who have an existing understanding of neglect and have completed introductory neglect training.
