Suffolk Safeguarding Partnership is changing. From September 2026 we have refocussed to separate Suffolk Safeguarding Children Partnership (SSCP) and Suffolk Safeguarding Adults Board (SSAB). We are updating the current website to reflect these changes alongside wider reforms in the Family First Programme. Please be aware in this period of transitions there maybe information contained within this website that is yet to be updated.

Coming in 2027 your new training offer from SSCP and SSAB!

Training

All those working with children, young people and adults at risk must have the appropriate level of training according to their role.

To ensure that the learning is applicable for each staff group; Safeguarding training should be updated and contextualised to adopt the processes and support available within each agency.  Therefore, employees and volunteers are advised to undertake the training that is provided by their partner agency, irrespective of whether they have received this from within another organisation.
