Where to start?
The basics
WSCP offer a breadth of materials to help you support and safeguard a child. We offer quick one minute guides on a variety of topics, 7 point breifings, masterclasses and much more and you can also visit our Knowledge Hub for the more toolkits and bite sized guides (click on the video link below for a quick tour of the child exploitation section).
When visiting our 'professionals' page you will find an array of information from campaign materials, procedures, forms, tools and frameworks, to one minute guides to managing allegations against staff and learning from reviews and audit.
If you havent already done so in a previous role, getting a basic awareness of safeguarding practices, protocols and procedures will help gain a foundation for understanding more complex issues.
