Our first two Scottish child protection training courses, An Introduction to Getting it Right for Every Child (GIRFEC) and Level 2 Child Abuse and Neglect, are the first national child protection courses produced especially for the Scottish Children's Workforce. These courses have been designed to fully reflect current Scottish best practice, guidance and legislation.
Getting it Right for Every Child
This bite size course explains the Getting it Right for Every Child (GIRFEC) model which is the new national approach in Scotland for those supporting and working with children and young people. It affects all services for children and adults where children are involved and therefore is relevant for all children and adult services staff.
This is an essential learning package for practitioners and other members of the children’s workforce who wish to understand the philosophy behind this important new model of child protection and how to apply it in practice.
