Cwm Taf Safeguarding Children Board Training Programme 2015-2016 This document contains the core Cwm Taf Safeguarding Children Board training that will be taking place during 2015-16. Alongside the core training and where possible, additional events will be planned to meet emerging needs: You will see that alongside each course title a level is indicated, level 2, 3 or4. These levels refer to the CTSCB Safeguarding/Child Protection Training Strategy. If your service/inspection standards state that you or your staff should, for example, attend Child Protection training every three years, it is generally not necessary to repeat the same course but far more beneficial to attend other Safeguarding courses set at this level or above. Cwm Taf Safeguarding Children Board welcome nominations for training events from all staff and volunteers across both RCT and Merthyr. The Venue, be it RCT or Merthyr, will dictate method of application. Refreshments will be provided at all courses. How to Apply to Attend Training Courses taking place in RCT 1.
