Child Safety Week is an annual campaign created by the Child Accident Prevention Trust (CAPT). Child Safety Week is intended to instigate conversations around child safety and spread awareness of how parents, carers and educators can prevent accidents through proactive dialogue and promoting awareness through activities. The campaign is led UK-wide, and also focuses on educating children on different approaches to accident prevention and how they can keep themselves safe.

Volunteers’ Week is an annual UK-wide campaign held from the first Monday in June to celebrate and recognise the contributions of volunteers.

This training session is for anyone working or volunteering with children, or within agencies that deliver services to children in Waltham Forest, and aims to highlight the role of the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO) in managing concerns about suitability and allegations, as well as to develop understanding of the processes for managing allegations against professionals; by the end of the session, participants will have increased confidence in knowing what to do when presented with a child safeguarding allegation against a professional.
