Both public and private organisations that are providing services to children should consider appointing a designated liaison person in keeping with best practice in child safeguarding. This person will be the resource person for any staff member or volunteer who has child protection concerns, and will liaise with outside agencies. The designated liaison person should be knowledgeable about child protection and should be provided with any training considered necessary to fulfil this role.
There are currently places available on a Designated Liaison Person training session on the 22nd and 23rd of October – taking place in Parslickstown House from 9.30am to 4.00pm (attendance needed both days)
The training will be provided and certified by the National Youth Council of Ireland.
Places will be given on a first come, first served basis.
Anyone interested in attending can contact Ciaran.Morgan@fingal.ie for further information.
