Training and events

Multi-agency best practice events

In April, May, and June, we will be running a multi-agency best practice event on child neglect.

This in person event is aimed at multi-agency front-line practitioners and team managers who work with children and/or families. Sessions are open to all agencies and are taking place across the county. Full details about the best practice events are available here.

Book your place by using the multi-agency best practice events form.

 

Stop It Now webinars

Throughout March and April 2025, organisations across Devon, Cornwall, and The Isles of Scilly, including local councils, NHS, law enforcement, and charities are collaborating on a local Stop It Now campaign to deter online child sexual abuse.

You can join our Stop It Now events here.

Please note that anyone working for a Devon school should complete safeguarding training via the Devon Education Services training offer. All the training offered by Devon Education Services is not funded by the Devon SCP and is for school staff only.

If you work in areas within Torbay or Plymouth only, it is recommended that you attend their Safeguarding respective partnership training instead. Please see the Plymouth Safeguarding Children Partnership website or the Torbay Safeguarding Children Partnership website for more details.
