About Our Training 

Our training is designed for professionals concerned with safeguarding children and adults who have been or are at risk of being subject to abuse, exploitation, and trafficking. Participants may come from the Social Care Sector, Criminal Justice Service, Police, Health Care and the Voluntary Sector. The courses are underpinned by the SIPPS theoretical framework which draws upon Systemic Social Work Practice, Forensic Psychology, Criminolgy and Criminal Justice Processes. 

All of the individual courses stand alone or build, in a modular structure, to give participants a systemic understanding of the issues and complexity of organised, networked abuse and exploitation. Every module is linked by the theoretical principles of the SIPPS model and supported by academic knowledge and professional experience from the field. This training will support practitioners in developing comprehensive assessment and investigation skills, develop safety plans and interventions, improve prosecution outcomes, and facilitate recovery and prevent re-abuse with confidence and authority. 

This allows practitioners to plan their own continuing professional developmental pathway according to their existing knowledge and experience, or their interests and needs. SIPPS Modules are organised by topic area: Systemic Awareness, Investigation/Assessment, Protection and Prosecution, but are also all connected. Modules are tiered from Level 1 (foundation) to 5 (Advanced). See the list below and click a module title to be taken to a full Course Profile. Modular Courses can also be run in-house as a bespoke training programme. If you would like to discuss training for your organisation contact us by email at info@craigbarlow.co.uk
