We recognise that training for those working with
children and young people in every setting is vital.
People from different agencies and organisations come together
for training because this is a valuable and highly effective way of
promoting a common and shared understanding of each other’s roles
and responsibilities.
Multi Agency Safeguarding courses are available for all adults
working with children and young people in North Somerset, whether
this is in a paid position or as a volunteer.
The courses are held at Four Oaks Professional Development
Centre in Nailsea. There is a reduced charge for those in the
voluntary sector of £31.25 per day.
