Locality, practice based groups for any professionals and volunteers who work with children, young people and their families and adults who are parents/carers.

• Huntingdonshire
• East Cambridgeshire and Fenland
• Cambridge City and South Cambridgeshire

They were established in the spring of 2002 in recognition that people who work in the same local area will have a number of common needs and interests.

What is their purpose?

These groups provide an opportunity for people who work with children, young people and their families within a local area to get to know each other and to understand each other’s role in safeguarding the welfare of children. The groups support the collective identification of good practice and the conditions which support it. As well as providing a forum for discussing any difficulties that arises from inter-agency working.

The Education Child Protection Service (ECPS) contributes to protecting and safeguarding children and young people by training and supporting staff in schools and educational settings.

We provide services to education personnel across Cambridgeshire to enable them to fulfil their responsibilities under current legislation and government guidance relating to child protection.

We are able to bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to this complex and sensitive area of schools' work.

We provide training, support and advice to schools, raising awareness of child protection and safeguarding issues, enabling staff to keep up-to-date with current legislation and guidance. Schools can use our advice line to discuss concerns and obtain advice on appropriate actions to be taken. We also produce guidance on a range of topics, including model policies which schools can choose to adopt or adapt to their particular circumstances.

We strive to promote consistent good practice and a professional response to safeguarding in order to promote the welfare of children.

We provide a rolling programme of Basic Child Protection training for school staff, ensuring that staff undertake the required training every 3 years, in compliance with the Education Act 2002. In addition, we provide training materials for schools to train their own staff.

We also offer the initial two-day training for new Designated Personnel (DP) and the refresher training every two years, in line with the requirements of the Education Act 2002. We then support designated personnel in managing difficult cases. This may involve visiting the school to talk to staff, suggesting strategies and providing advice on the use of resources that could support children, young people and their families.

We maintain strong links with each of the three Area Social Care teams, 14 Locality teams, Health and Police, ensuring positive working relationships between schools and those agencies.
