Training
Developing training material and resources and providing training for youth leaders and managers is an important role of the Child Protection Programme. Courses are designed and tailored to respond to the identified needs of volunteers, youth workers and managers, all of whom have responsibility for safeguarding children within their organisations. Our aim is to support individuals and organisations in developing and ensuring best practice in the area of child protection and welfare.
The Child Protection Programme provides training support to organisations and individuals through:
The Child Protection Awareness Programme(CPAP).
A four hour awareness programme for youth leaders delivered as an individual training module or as part of overall youth work training. This programme is also available in Irish, Polish and French.
The Training of Trainers in the delivery of the CPAP.
