DSL CPD Sessions
We will be holding Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) Continuing Professional Development (CPD) sessions for the city's DSL’s.
These will be held in person and will be based around key themes going on in the city. These sessions will entail scenarios and discussion based problem solving with your colleagues from across the city.
This will also be a great networking opportunity and a chance to raise any questions that you may have relating to these issues for further discussion.
The sessions are free of charge.
