- Develop an understanding of what will happen once they have informed someone about those concerns
- Understand of the response to allegations against staff or volunteers, who work with children
- Discuss the further contribution they may be asked or expected to make to the processes described in What To Do If You’re Worried a Child Is Being Abused and the London Child Protection Procedures, including how to share information
- Access basic information and background about the legislative framework within which children’s welfare is safeguarded and promoted
- Reference the City of London Threshold document and Hackney Child Well-being model which sets out the thresholds for accessing services at different level of need and concern and the Common Support Framework which enables participants to identify how to access support for families.
