Training opportunities
The Training Sub Groups of the Gateshead Safeguarding Children Partnership (GSCP), Safeguarding Adults Board (SAB) and Community Safety Board aim to ensure priority areas are supported by appropriate training opportunities for Gateshead Council and Partner Agency employees.
Over the year the training programmes will be developed, as priorities change, or demand increases. It is recommended that you regularly check this page for updates.
If you work for the Health Service and are due to refresh your Multi-Agency Level 3 training, please check for the * listed next to the course.
