NSCP Effective Strategy Discussions Level 3

Whenever there is reasonable cause to suspect that a child or unborn child is suffering, or is likely to suffer, significant harm, there should be a strategy discussion/meeting. We would like to offer a new course for 2026.

Self-register for this course online via Teams webinar.

Learning aims

• Clarify when Strategy Discussions should be convened, and who should be involved in the discussions.
