Multi-Agency Child Protection and Safeguarding
Multi-Agency Safeguarding Training – One Day
Time: 9:30am – 4:30pm
Location: Cornwall
Aim
To strengthen the effectiveness of Cornwall’s multi-agency safeguarding system by deepening shared understanding of roles, responsibilities, and pathways through MARU, improving communication across professional networks, and learning from local and national reviews to safeguard children, especially those who are vulnerable, minoritised, or less visible to services.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Identify and describe the different roles, responsibilities, and contributions of agencies across Cornwall’s safeguarding partnership.
- Apply effective communication strategies to overcome common barriers (e.g. rurality, thresholds, dispersed services) and build stronger inter-professional networks.
- Work confidently within legal frameworks and local processes, including MARU referral pathways, Early Help Hub, and escalation procedures.
- Analyse case studies and reviews (local and national) to recognise safeguarding risks, particularly for vulnerable, minoritised, and hard-to-reach children and families.
- Demonstrate professional leadership and curiosity in multi-agency safeguarding meetings, planning, and assessment, with a focus on early identification and intervention.
