Working in Partnership to  recruit, develop and retain a workforce

The Surrey Children’s Services Academy (SCSA) provides a range of partnership safeguarding learning and development opportunities for people working with children, young people, and their families in Surrey.
We aim to share both national and local best practice through a range of digital and face to face workshops and learning events. This ensures that Surrey’s professionals are equipped with the knowledge and skills to safeguard children and young people in Surrey.
The ethos is that our learning is multi agency, providing professionals with a vital opportunity to learn from each other and with each other; ensuring that professionals work together and share information within the safeguarding process to ensure positive outcomes for children and families.
