Child Protection Response Team Member Workshop Level 1

School-based child protection team members are invited to participate in this foundational workshop, which offers deep training through six essential synchronous modules:

1. Rights-Based Child Protection
2. Online Safety
3. Policies and Procedures
4. Establishing a Team Approach
5. ITFCP Managing Allegation Protocol
6. First Responder Training

Within these modules, we will delve into additional topics including:

• Definitions and possible indicators of abuse
• Professional boundaries
• Creating a school climate of safeguarding
• The grooming process
• Child-on-child abuse

Case studies will be employed throughout to support schools in strengthening safeguarding procedures. Resources and support for whole staff training will be provided through the training-of-trainers approach.

• Understand child protection accreditation standards and foundational beliefs.
• Determine needed policies and stages of implementation.
• Identify supporting resources, including ITFCP Allegation Protocol, audits, and CP policy samples.
• Work as a team to enhance or create CP policies and procedures.
• Prioritize supplemental policies.
• Understand basic victim and offender behavior.

Participants will earn an ICMEC Level I Certificate upon completion of the workshop, valid for three years.

Prior to beginning this Level 1 course, participants will be asked to complete to complete 4 self-paced, asynchronous training modules that make up ICMEC’s “Intro to Safeguarding” asynchronous course. Each module will take roughly 45 minutes to complete. After successfully completing all 4 modules, participants will be issued a Certificate of Completion for the Intro to Safeguarding course. Participants will be asked to share those certificates at the completion of the synchronous course in order to receive the final Level I Certificate.
