  • Types of abuse, including child trafficking, child sexual exploitation and FGM
  • How to recognise abuse: the signs and symptons
  • What to do when you recognise abuse: the referral process
  • The importance of a multi-agency approach in safeguarding children and young people
  • Safe practice

  Who should attend: Anyone who works or volunteers with a charity, community or voluntary sector group in Reading whose work or volunteering brings them into contact with children or young people in whatever circumstances, whether they are new to the role or require a refresher.

  The trainer: These sessions are hosted by RVA and will be delivered by approved Safeguarding Trainers, who have received training via Reading Borough Council, Safeguarding Children Services.
