In-person courses

**Cautionary Note on Training Attendance:**

We have recently experienced an increased number of late cancellations and non-attendance for our training sessions. This is significantly affecting our ability to deliver effective safeguarding training. Please ensure you only book a place if you are certain of your availability to attend, if you need to cancel please allow at least three working days so alternative arrangements can be made.

Additionally, as we transition to a new booking system, we will only publish training dates up to July 2024.

In-person courses are held in classrooms, or via MS Teams and Zoom in virtual classrooms, please ensure you can access MS Teams and/or Zoom on a computer or laptop. Accessing online sessions using a mobile device is not ideal for engagement. To manage your bookings, and receive reminders and updates we recommend you create an Eventbrite account.

If you are unsure of the level of training you need please refer to the safeguarding competency framework before booking a course.

Cancellations or non-attendance

Please have the date of the training course you signed up for firmly booked in your diaries/calendars as protected training time. We cannot stress enough; that people taking part in training must be free from other appointments and meetings. Failure to turn up without prior notice jeopardises our ability to keep the training free.


Treat the training, as time you will be unavailable to do your normal tasks at work. For example:

  • put on your ‘out of office’ for emails
  • let others know you will be unavailable
  • have cover in place for any potential emergencies 

Eventbrite is a self-service platform where attendees can make cancellations. Cancellation via Eventbrite is the preferred option as this prevents delays in acknowledgment. Eventbrite will send a cancellation to the registered email address a copy will also be sent to the CSCP training mailbox.

Notice of non-attendance must be provided at least three working days before the training. This is to allow notice to be given to trainers, and venues and for waiting list tickets to be released to other attendees.

As of the 1st of September 2023, attendees who fail to show up will be added to the no-show list and will be restricted from booking further events for the next six months. This stringent measure is necessitated by the escalating financial burden incurred by the CSCP due to unutilised slots for training events. Cancellation notices received on the day of the event will also place the attendee on the no-show list.
