Safeguarding learning and development opportunities may present themselves in many different ways. CESCP recognises a variety of methods to deliver current safeguarding updates and information, the documents below give managers and practitioners guidance regarding safeguarding training and a reflective learning template to help evidence impact from training attendance or other exercise.
The partnership’s training offer is reviewed annually to ensure it remains responsive, relevant, and informed by participant feedback and evidence of 'what works'. Training topics and learning themes are identified through a comprehensive process involving consultation with services, analysis of the current programme, review of national and local research, and findings from audits and practice case reviews.
Our training offer continues to include a diverse range of learning formats:
- ‘How to...?’ sessions provide practical guidance on the use of shared tools, policies, and practices to support consistent multi agency working.
- ‘Spotlight on...’ sessions create space for relationship building across agencies and sectors, offering a platform for services to introduce themselves, promote their expertise, and highlight their child centred support.
- ‘CESCP Learning from Reviews’ sessions enable the Partnership team to share key learning from audits and case reviews, promote new services and policy developments, and highlight examples of good practice. These sessions help strengthen evidence-based understanding of effective multiagency safeguarding practice.
The training programme continues to evolve in response to emerging service needs. It is promoted through our monthly newsletter and website, ensuring wide visibility and accessibility across the partnership.
The training plan for 2026 was developed through analysis of the previous years training offer, regular discussion across the partnership and in the Learning and Improvement group, and oversight of the reviews undertaken by the partnership.
The Partnership has identified a set of strategic priority areas that will guide its work. These priorities have been shaped through active contributions from key multiagency forums, including the Learning and Improvement Group, Education Safeguarding Group, Multi Agency Quality Assurance Group, and the Cheshire East Safeguarding Children’s Designated Partners Executive board. In response to both emerging themes and ongoing challenges, the Partnership will maintain focused activity in the following areas:
Harm Outside the Home
Child Sexual Abuse
Child Neglect
Alongside these priorities, the Partnership will continue to embed the Participation and Engagement Strategy, working to ensure the voices of children, young people, and families are central to the design, delivery, and evaluation of services.
