Child Protection Refresher Training for DLPs and Deputy DLPs (Repeat)

**Due to high demand we are running a repeat session of the refresher training**

To support schools in the area of Child Protection and Safeguarding we are running refresher training for Designated Liaison Persons (DLP) and Deputy DLPs

In this interactive 2 hour session, we will review the role of the DLP in reporting concerns, record keeping and Child Protection Oversight Reporting through the use of case studies. 

This session is ideally suited for DLPs & DDLPs who have undertaken initial Child Protection training and would like a refresher in this area.
