The Learning Management System (My Learning) where practitioners access safeguarding eLearning such as Basic Safeguarding Training, Child Exploitation eLearning and Domestic Abuse Training has been recommissioned and as of July 1st, 2024, this will be provided by a new company.
As of the 30thJune 2024 you will no longer be able to access training via the current My Learning site. It is expected that there will be a short timescale where safeguarding eLearning will not be available. We are waiting for further confirmation when the new platform will be ready for practitioners to access eLearning and once we have the details we will send you further information via a 5 minute briefing of how you can access the safeguarding eLearning.
Important information: Please ensure you download any certificates of completed training you are missing before the closure date 30thJune 2024.

As you approach the end of term, if you have any children who have an open Early Help Assessment, who are transitioning to a new School or College, please remember to invite someone from the new School or College to your final TAF meeting and let parents know they will be attending. During the meeting discuss with the family the change of coordinator if you haven’t already done so.
After the meeting complete the online change of Coordinator form. Share any appropriate paperwork with the new coordinator. If you are to be the new coordinator, complete a new consent form with the family.
If you have been unable to have someone from the new School /College attending the meeting, please let them know you will be completing the change of coordinator form and share paperwork as appropriate.
If you have any questions about any of the above please contact your local Early Help Team, visit early Help Teams page on the CSCP website here.

These sessions will be 15 minutes slots to remind students that Kooth is not just there for term time, but that they are available across the summer holidays to provide resources in the form of counselling, moderated peer support and self help tools, available at the point of need.
Below are the dates and times:

For information - each session will not be a presentation, but will be a live demonstration of how students sign up and access resources on the platform. This could help prevent mental health issues from deteriorating throughout the holiday period, perhaps helping to ward off that back to school anxiety.
If your school would like to booking for the next academic year for face to face assemblies and workshops, please email hhook@kooth.com
For many parents they feel ill equipped to manage the mental health needs of their child, therefore Kooth are also offering some specific evening parent webinars to provide information about Kooth, and the opportunity for a Q&A. Please distribute Kooth Parent booking form to parents.
