The Southwark Safeguarding Children Partnership and the Southwark Safeguarding Adults Board provide free multi-agency safeguarding training for all staff, volunteers and community leaders who work directly with children, parents and carers, and vulnerable adults in the borough. 

Our multi-agency approach to training promotes universally shared knowledge, learning and best practice, and maintains a collaborative and well informed borough-wide workforce.
