We have added a new date for LADO training which will be on Saturday 7^th October 2017, 10.30 – 1.30 pm at Civic Hall, Civic Way, Ellesmere Port

I would like to take the opportunity to highlight some positives of attending the LADO briefing sessions and the reason why it is so important;

• When inspected by your inspectorates the LADO is frequently contacted for information on compliance issues and strengths, the attendance at LADO training is highlighted as a strength.
• Due to the fact that provisions do not deal with LADO issues on a daily basis the training offers practical support and guidance on how to manage situations as they arise. The number of questions your practitioners ask after the event is of a high number and demonstrates the need for further information in this area.
• The information shared at LADO briefing events provides your front line staff and safeguarding leads with strategies for safer working environments and how to keep children and employees safe.
  
   

Whilst we understand time is precious the briefings are only 3 hours and support the safeguarding of children and your organisations. 

Does your staff group understand the implications of restraint and can they tell the difference between restraint and assault?  Recent training suggests that the staff group do not understand the LADO threshold, which leaves your organisations vulnerable as are the children you work with.  I therefore ask that you identify people within the organisation that can access the briefing session and would benefit from this.
