ICMEC: Child Protection Response Team Workshop Level 1

26 September, 03 & 10 October

Facilitated by Debbie Downes, Director of Global School Initiatives, International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC)

In association with Near East South Asia Council of Overseas Schools

This course enables deep training of school-based child protection team members. Experts will support child protection team work on creation and audit of child protection policies and supplemental policies, such as online safety and child-on-child abuse. Teams will work together to develop shared values around child protection.

The ITFCP allegation protocol will be introduced, and teams will use case reviews to understand victim and offender behaviour. Topics addressed include first responder question formation and the grooming process. Team planning using course-provided scaffolding will be emphasised. Support and resources for whole staff training will be provided through the training-of-trainers approach.
