Bespoke Training
Bespoke training may be provided by members of the EYCIT team on request (subject to availability). If
you are an Amber or Red RAG assessed Redbridge setting and this is training that has been recommended
you may have one such training session per year free of charge. If you are a Green RAG assessed Redbridge
setting or you request training that has not been particularly recommended as a priority by EYCIT then you
will need to pay £10 per person.
There needs to be a minimum of 10 people attending so small settings may want to join together with
others to make this viable. Bespoke training costs are now added to the end of term training invoices. If
less than 10 persons attend the course a minimum of £100.00 will be invoiced.
Complaints procedure
What if a customer isn’t happy with the service they receive?
If you are not happy with the service that you receive whether it’s about the Early Years Service, training
delivered or current policies and procedures then you can take the following steps:
In the first instance talk to the person that you have dealt with in Early Years or the trainer and explain to
them why you are unhappy and what you want to happen to put things right.
If you remain unhappy with how they deal with your concerns, or you do not wish to talk to the person
concerned (because for instance your complaint is about them), then please contact Dianne Borien, Head
of Early Years in writing to [email protected].
Your complaint will be dealt with promptly and you will receive an answer within ten working days.
If you remain unhappy then you can follow the further steps in the Council’s procedure described in the
booklet ‘How to complain about our services’.
You can request that a copy of the booklet is sent to you; you can view it or download it from the council’s
website at www.redbridge.gov.uk; or you can pick up a copy from any council office.

COURSE 8
SOAP Approach to Safeguarding
Sue Overton Applied Practice (SOAP) is a new approach to safeguarding training which enables delegates to see
what safeguarding looks and feels like in practice at a fictitious nursery called Snuggles. Key learning is skilfully
woven into two interlocking story lines where delegates witness staff facing safeguarding dilemmas and agonising
over what action to take. It’s like watching a serious case review before it has happened.
Dramatic clips are interspersed with opportunities to watch an expert panel tease out the issues and discuss steps
to take. Learning is reinforced through discussion; practical tasks; reflective questions; handouts and useful links.
During the session delegates will explore:
• How the practitioner’s perspective affects Safeguarding
• Why things can go wrong
• Personal/professional boundaries
• The paperwork
• Legal duty of care
• Safeguarding quiz
• Common Assessment Framework
• Making a referral
There are two methods of accessing this training to suit the needs of different practitioners and settings:
1. Online – Delegates are provided with a code to enable them to access all the video clips and handouts online.
An online certificate is provided on successful completion of the course.
2. Training the Trainers – Delegates attend a 4 hour session delivered by an EYCIT Locality Lead and Early Years
Improvement Officer where they will be given:
• Guidance about how to organise effective in-house training
• A course outline and training materials to use in their own setting
• Opportunities to view video clips, trial activities and rehearse discussion scenarios
The latter is a unique professional development opportunity for lead practitioners to develop staff training skills and
to provide all staff in their setting with the skills, knowledge and confidence to deal with safeguarding concerns.
Please specify clearly on your booking form which delivery method you are requesting.
Audience All staff within PVI settings. School nursery staff and Childminders are welcome to attend, however
the scenarios provided within the course relate to a nursery setting.
Settings registered outside of Redbridge and those registered with a Childminding Agency should
enquire about this course by email to [email protected].
