Children's Workforce Training

Children's Workforce Training Organisation and Workforce Development offers a wide range of initiatives to ensure that staff and teams have the opportunity to develop their skills and expertise. We facilitate and deliver a wide range of specialist training courses for both internal staff and members of the public.

We have a number of in-house Trainers who deliver a wide variety of training courses, covering many topics including:
  • Safeguarding (Child Protection)
  • Child Development and Attachment
  • Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering (previously Foundation Food Hygiene)
  • Personal Safety
  • Customer Care
  • Presentation Skills
  • Negotiating and Influencing Skills
  • Neuro-Linguistic Programming
  • Management Development programme
This is just a fraction of the courses we run. For a full training programme, please contact the team. 
  If you would like to book a place on one of our training courses, there is a booking form on the bottom of each flyer. Please fill in the form and then post or fax it to our office. You can also telephone a member of our team.

A course confirmation letter is sent out before the course is due to start. The letter gives details about where the course is being held, start time and any pre-course requirements.

If you have not received a letter a week before your course is due to start, please contact a member of our team.

Unless otherwise stated, we will raise an invoice to collect course fees which will be sent out to you. In some cases, this will be done before the course starts. Please check with our training team for more information.

If you would like someone to come to your workplace to deliver a training course, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
