Training events
Our new learning management system has now gone live! You can now book onto all of our events and access our e-learning via our course login page. We will no longer be taking bookings via emails.
Please note if you had an account previously (and have used it in the last 2 years) we have been able to transfer your details onto to the new system and you should have received an e mail from us asking you to activate your new account which may take 5-10 minutes initially. If you need to check if your account details have been transferred over or you need to create a new account you can email: sarah.bale@nottscc.gov.uk who will send you guidance.
The NSCP training provision aims to deliver high quality up to date safeguarding training that will enable participants to keep safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children at the centre of their work. All our training events are multi-agency, so are attended by delegates from a variety of organisations, offering a great opportunity to meet partners and discuss safeguarding children issues and at the same time gaining an insight on how others work to safeguard children. Our aim is to complement single agency safeguarding children training.
The Annual Training Programme [PDF] is produced once at the beginning of the training year as a reference document and starting point. The full list of courses is available below and regularly updated throughout the year as new courses are added. We offer a range of learning opportunities, including face to face/virtual training courses, seminars, and e learning. For further information relating to training click on the links to other pages in this section.

This course will raise awareness of bullying and how bullying-type behaviours have changed in recent years, particularly online. The course will provide opportunities for discussions about what bullying is and how this differs to relational conflict, and how practitioners can respond to incidents of alleged bullying (both on and offline) in order to safeguard all children. During the course we will explore the potential impact that bullying can have (in the short and long term), including the impact on a child's mental health and wellbeing.
