As part of our organisational response to the COVID-19 crisis, Children in Scotland has adapted our training and events programme to a digital webinar format and we will be continuing with digital learning for the foreseeable future.

Our list of webinars will be added to regularly so please revisit the site to see what’s new.

We believe it is important that the sector continues to build resilient networks, share helpful resources and develop the skills our workforce needs to provide high-quality support to children and young people.

Our office remains closed and staff will be working from home – you can contact the Learning team via events@childreninscotland.org.uk.

One of our key priority areas is leading and developing the children’s sector workforce. A key part of this is our learning and events programme, which is tailored to meet the specific needs of the workforce in Scotland. Our diverse programme is designed to strengthen your knowledge and practice.

Why choose Children in Scotland to support your CPD?

Our multi-awards winning Learning & Events team has substantial experience of working with organisations to identify learning opportunities for staff that will:
·     Strengthen their skills
·     Provide an opportunity for them to reflect on their own practice
·     Allow them to plan how to implement their learning in the workplace.

Our team can take care of everything, ranging from talking through your requirements to sourcing experienced trainers, ensuring the event is tailored to your needs, and providing an evaluation report afterwards.
