SSAB Training Offer

Welcome to the Safeguarding Adults Board training offer

Taking part in learning and development is crucial to enabling practitioners to undertake their role effectively. Training supports practitioners to keep up to date with legislation, policy, procedures and guidance to protect adults with care and support needs from abuse and neglect. Training supports practitioners to be professionally curious when working with vulnerable people and ensures we work with dignity and in a respectful manner which in turn has a positive impact on people’s lives, families, and communities.

How to apply for places on SSAB courses

In this Offer you will find the training is divided into levels to provide agencies with clarity on which staff should undertake which courses. The list of staff roles are examples and is not an exhaustive list.

Before choosing your course:

Check the target group of the course. If you are unsure you can discuss with your line manager or contact the Safeguarding Adults Training Administrator for more information.
Make sure that learning outcomes are relevant to your role and responsibilities.

If you wish to attend any of our training session, it must be in agreement with your line manager or organisation.

Please note:

SSAB will assume the submission of the course booking as:

Authorisation that an individual’s manager has agreed to their attendance.
A formal commitment by an agency to attend training
Agreement with Solihull Safeguarding Adult Boards Charging Policy for non-attendance.

Booking your place

For each course, you will find a link to book your place via Eventbrite. Once you are enrolled onto a course, you will receive an email confirming your place. Shortly before the course, you will receive an email reminding you of your place on the session. If you do not receive a confirmation email from SSAB, then you are not booked onto the session. If you are unsure if you are enrolled onto a session, email ssab@solihull.gov.uk who will be able to confirm for you.

Training Etiquette

In order to receive the best experience from the training sessions we are running, and to support other attendee’s experience, please can we request the following:

Please ensure you log in on time to the session to avoid any disruption
Please be ready to participate in discussions and within break-out sessions.
Please can you have your camera on to support engagement levels within the session, for both, the trainer as well as with other attendees. This is particularly important when you are accessing a break-out room with the expectation that you are discussing questions prompted by the trainer.

Cancellation

Where possible delegates should cancel their booking through their account on Eventbrite. If you are unable to attend a session, you or your line manager must email ssab@solihull.gov.uk 48 hours (2 working days) prior to the training session. In the case of sickness, employees must advise their manager if they are unable to attend a training session. The employees’ manager must send cancellations by email to SSAB Business Team: ssab@solihull.gov.uk

Policy for non-attendance

The demand for training courses is high and provided within a limited training budget to support the safeguarding practice of multi-agency staff. Someone will be deemed as not attending if they do not attend a course on which they are booked, and where 48 hours’ notice (i.e., two working days) by email to ssab@solihull.gov.uk has not been received. Solihull Safeguarding Adults Board has agreed that where someone has not attended their booked training session, the representative for their organisation will be informed to follow up the reason for this. Should non-attendance at booked sessions continue to occur repeatedly with any organisation, the organisation may have their attendance at training restricted, in order to protect limited resources.

Below you will find a list of all the courses SSAB are currently running during 2023/24.
