upsetting at that particular time. The course presenters are aware of these things and make every effort to be sensitive to them and to do all they can to create a safe learning environment. Please speak to them if you feel you need to do so. Trainers have the right and responsibility to discuss with delegates any safeguarding practice issues, which have been discussed as part of the course, to ensure procedures have been followed correctly and children are safe. This may include further discussion after the course with appropriate manager's and agencies. We would also ask individuals who attend our courses to take personal responsibility to take care of themselves and give consideration to the learning needs of others on the course. We reserve the right to ask a delegate to leave if the delegate's behaviour is deemed inappropriate. All delegates will be required to abide by the site rules operating at the course venue. Feedback will be given to the delegate's manager about any issues relating to inappropriate behaviour. Experiential learning and group participation is particularly effective in safeguarding training. Our training programme offers lots of opportunities to work together in small groups to undertake exercises to interact, try out new knowledge and skills whilst observing and learning from others. The exercises that are used are those which we hope provide a direct and concrete link back to the learners' work environment and therefore facilitate the transfer of learning. We strive to ensure that our training programme is of high quality and that we use the best people to deliver our training. Please use our evaluation forms to provide constructive feedback about any aspect of the training. We collate this information and use it to inform future training provided and develop our training team. Practicalities We do not provide lunch on any of these training courses. We do provide refreshments (hot drinks and water) throughout the day. Please bring your own lunch and snacks. Most of our courses take place at Portsmouth Academy for Girls Training Centre. The centre has ample car parking spaces and is accessible for wheelchairs. Training Records It is the responsibility of each organisation and individual practitioner to keep a record of attendance at safeguarding training courses. We do keep a record of attendance at our training courses to help us with the annual training needs analysis and so we can provide evaluation reports to PSCB.
