General Workforce Training

The general contact workforce describes those who, as part of their job are likely to come into contact with children, young people and other family members. The frequency of the contact will vary, but these workers will not usually be involved in any in-depth personal work with them, or have an in-depth knowledge of their circumstances. Workers in the General Contact Workforce need to have the confidence and awareness to recognise when a child or young person may be in need of protection, and know how to respond.

Specific Workforce Training

The specific contact workforce describes those have specific responsibilities for child protection as part of their role. They may be involved in investigation and risk assessment, or in providing ongoing support for children and their families. These workers may be asked to contribute to the risk assessment and Child Protection Planning process and may be providing ongoing support.

Risk Assessment Training

This course looks at the purpose, process and production of risk assessment and analysis within the framework of Child Protection.
