Website Updates

Following the publication of the Working Together 2018 we will be continually updating our website to reflect these changes

Online Safeguarding Courses

You can access a wide range of online courses via our Safeguarding e-Learning. Courses take approximately 1-3 hours with a short test of knowledge at the end for which successful participants will be able to print a certificate of completion.

Cumbria Safeguarding Hub

Ask yourself - Does the child need an immediate child protection response? If so continue to report your concern to the Cumbria Safeguarding Hub.

Practitioner Forums

There are now 7 Practitioner Forums up and running in each district area giving practitioners the opportunity to understand each others roles and what local provision is available in each part of the county. They're free to attend and there's no need to book - just come along.

Early Help

Early Help is a way of working with children. It involves listening to families to find out the child's needs. If you are working with a child in need of early help that you think would benefit from the help and support of one or more other agencies. Then raise an Early Help Assessment.
