Competence Matters - a multi agency safeguarding children training framework for London
This document is intended to assist Children’s Trusts and/or Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) Training Officers and Sub-Committees with the planning, commissioning and delivery of a comprehensive safeguarding children training programme. LSCB partners, and those with responsibility for staff learning and development within LSCB member agencies will also need to be familiar with this framework.
It is not intended that Children’s Trusts or LSCBs should attempt to adopt everything within this document – rather, local areas should use this as a framework around which to base their own training programmes.
