Darlington Borough Council Staff

this programme should email [email protected] to book their

place – unless otherwise specified. Please note that you must discuss and agree with your Line Manager before applying to attend any of the courses listed in the

directory. Joining instructions are sent out approximately 2 weeks before each event date. If you have not received your copy a week before the training date then please email the

appropriate links above.

Details of how to apply for Resources training or external training/conferences or accredited

qualifications are included in appendix A.

Webinars - staff should register themselves on the session & inform

[email protected] once completed so individual training records can be updated

Cancellation Policy

Could I please remind all delegates of the importance of cancelling their place on training PRIOR to the course date if you are no longer able to attend. Some of our courses run with

low numbers & it is unacceptable that delegates simply do not ‘turn up’ on the day. It leaves the trainer with the difficult decision of either running the course with too few delegates

(which detracts from the value of the training & is not cost effective) or cancelling the session

on the day which again is a waste of time & resources. Delegate who do not arrive on the day & have not cancelled their place will be contacted after the course to ask for a reason for

their non-attendance.

• Cancellation of a Place Prior to the Course Date

If a DBC delegate is unable to attend the course prior to the course date, they should ask their Line Manager to email [email protected] as soon as

possible to cancel their place. Multi-Agency delegates should email [email protected] directly.

• Cancellation of a Place on the Course Date

If a delegate is unable to attend the course on the actual day of the course due to

sickness or an emergency situation, they should contact their Line Manager as soon as possible & ask that they pass that information onto the Workforce Development Team

immediately or they should contact the Workforce Development Team directly by emailing [email protected] or ringing on 01325 406388.

• Late Arrivals

To ensure that all candidates receive the maximum benefit from the learning

opportunity, we ask that candidates arrive at least 5 minutes before the start of the course. If the candidate is unable to make the start time, they should contact the

Workforce Development Team on 01325 406388 who will check that the facilitator is

willing to accept the candidate onto the course. If a delegate arrives late on the day they may not be allowed to stay. This decision is made at the trainer’s discretion.

• Leaving Early

If the candidate is unable to stay for the full duration of the training, they should contact the Workforce Development Team on 01325 406388 who will check with the

facilitator that it is acceptable for the candidate to leave early.

being given to implementing a charging / non-attendance policy.

The Impact of Domestic Violence on Children & Young People in Care

As foster carers your role often involves re-parenting the child you are caring for who has experienced DV. This involves understanding the child & that the impact of DV has been on 3 different areas of their life: the impact on child development, the impact on their attachment & the impact on their brain development. This course will enable foster carers to understand what DV is, how DV happens, the impact on the child/ren in the birth family, the child’s compulsion to repeat violent modelled behaviours in the foster home & what children need from carers to feel safe. With this understanding you can then work as part of the team around the child to provide holistic care for

children recovering from DV.
