Domestic Abuse and Child Protection Training – Level 3:

This course explores the latest practice and developments relating to child victims of domestic abuse and the impact of violence, control and coercion on child and adolescent development. It examines the types of domestic abuse, increased times of risk for children and adult victims as well as how to have supportive and safe conversations that help improve outcomes for children and families. It also will improve awareness of work with perpetrators of domestic abuse and the range of support services and processes for victims and perpetrators.

This course is aimed at any staff supporting children, young people and their families as well as adult focused workers needing to consider the impact of adult behaviour on children and young people.

Problematic Sexual Behaviour – Level 3:

Delivered by NSPCC Plymouth Together for Childhood staff this course will  consider Problematic Sexual Behaviour (PSB) displayed by children and young people. The workshop will equip you to use specifically designed resources with children who have displayed PSB and their parents and carers.

By the end of this course, you will:

Be able to consider sexual behaviour using the NSPCC Hackett Continuum
Work with a child who has displayed problematic sexual behaviour
Support the child that you are working with to address their problematic behaviours
Work with parents and carers to help them understand their child’s behaviour and how to support them
Confidently use the resources and session plans provided in your direct work with children, parents and carers

This course is aimed at operational staff (within schools and other settings) who would have the capacity and opportunity to use the resources within their setting e.g. youth and community workers, family support advisors, pastoral staff, SENCO’s etc.

Thank you to all who took part in Safeguarding Week in June 2025, over 800 professionals from across the professional network attended the range of events. Key areas of learning throughout the week were:

• The importance of taking a public health approach to preventing sexual abuse,
• Placing responsibility, accountability and support for change on those causing harm,
• Children show us what’s happening for them and we need to ‘notice’ this and use our observations to have supportive conversations with them.

To help us do this, the following resources were shared throughout the week. Please do take the time to familiarise yourself with these

• Signs and indicators of child sexual abuse | CSA Centre
• Communicating with children | CSA Centre
• Child Sexual Abuse – Plymouth Safeguarding Children Partnership

We recorded all of the sessions that took place during Safeguarding Week and these, along with the power point presentations, are available on our PSCP website: Multi Agency Safeguarding Week June 2025 – Plymouth Safeguarding Children Partnership. Please do share this within your networks and team meetings where possible.

We’ve also placed all the resources into a separate brochure document if that’s an easier format for you and can also be downloaded from the Safeguarding week page. If you have any further questions about Safeguarding Week 2025 or have issues accessing the webinar recordings, please email the PSCP Business Unit at pscp@plymouth.gov.uk.

Thank you again to everyone who engaged with safeguarding week, and remember if we all work together, child sexual abuse is preventable, not inevitable.

We know families get a lot of baby care information from social media. So, a helpful conversation to have with anyone looking after a baby is to suggest they also follow The Lullaby Trust on social media platforms. This helps make sure they get trusted and reliable information.
