Title

Develop and deliver training materials to support implementation of the Wales Safeguarding Procedure

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

Following the implementation of Part 7 of the Social Services and Well-Being (Wales) Act 2014 , the Wales Safeguarding Procedures are under development and will be finalised by July 2019. Their development was commissioned through the regional Safeguarding Boards and will be available by early Autumn 2019. The procedures will expand the statutory guidance to provide practitioners, from a range of agencies, with clear guidance and expectations for safeguarding both adults and children. The procedures will be ‘hosted’ by Social Care Wales. The Procedures will be shared with the Supplier during the final stages of development.

Phase 1: there will need to be an extensive multi-agency training programme developed on these procedures and the training and learning materials within this project, will provide clarity and consistency for that training. Social Care Wales will lead this process by commissioning the development of the training and learning materials. These materials must allow for blended learning, not just e-learning.

Phase 2: When the materials are available, a plan is required to support the regional safeguarding boards as they disseminate the training to all practitioners in their area. That plan will provide some consistency of process and outcomes for all practitioners across Wales.
