IRD meetings involve staff from police, healthcare, social work and often education, but at the moment, only police have national training on participation in IRDs. We want everyone to feel confident in what they are doing in these meetings. By bringing together staff from all the organisations involved, we hope to improve understanding of each other\u2019s roles in the next steps for the child. By delivering the training across the country, we hope to encourage consistency in the response to concerns. The training follows key principles of our national child protection guidance \u2013 each child and their situation is unique, so their best interests are key.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><b>How did we get here?<\/b>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To develop this training course, we brought together a multi-agency writing group with representatives from the relevant agencies. We also asked for specialist content from experts in certain topics. This was important as it ensured the course content is relevant to everyone it needs to be.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><b>What does this course involve?<\/b>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The three-day in-person course is designed to give participants hands-on learning experiences. The first day and a half involve presentations describing each stage of the process, which are expanded on through discussion of anonymised case studies. The next day and a half immerse participants in scenarios mirroring real-life situations. Again, using anonymous case examples, participants discuss the best course of action for the children at risk and others involved. These case examples are carefully selected to highlight complexities and to encourage critical thinking and collaborative problem-solving among participants.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><b>Our team\u2019s experience of the IRD course pilots<\/b><\/em><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The pilots were an enriching experience, providing valuable insight into how professionals use the policies and guidance we create in the Scottish Government. Engaging in debates surrounding case details was particularly enlightening, highlighting the delicate nature of child protection issues and the dynamics between the professionals involved. Witnessing professionals working together to prioritise the child&#8217;s interests and implement the processes as described in the national child protection guidance was both inspiring and informative for policy staff.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><b>Participants\u2019 experience of the IRD course pilots\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">We ran two pilots with 18 participants in each: six from each of police, health and social work. Throughout the course, we asked participants to fill in feedback forms about the content and format of the course. The responses were overwhelmingly positive, showing the value of the training in its current three-day, in-person format. The highlight of the course that participants reported was the opportunity to have detailed discussions with colleagues from different professions, which helped understand each other\u2019s perspectives. Overcoming the challenge of releasing busy professionals from their day jobs for three full days of learning was no small feat. However, the feedback indicated that even experienced staff found the course very beneficial.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><em><b>How do we plan to roll out the IRD course?<\/b>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">We plan to recruit a dedicated team to deliver the course nationwide using the content that was successfully delivered during the pilots, but also including safeguarding leads from education. To begin with, it is proposed the course will run for two years, allowing most of the relevant staff in Scotland to complete the training. After this initial phase, we&#8217;ll assess the need for ongoing training and adjust as necessary.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<b>Links to other child protection Learning and Development<\/b>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This is just one aspect of support to assist professionals in their child protection roles.
