Announcements

The Local Safeguarding Children Partnership (LSCP) and the Safeguarding Adults Executive Board (SAEB) for Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster are seeking to understand what services are currently available to support young people aged 16-25 in their area, especially those that may be at risk of exploitation.

In particular, they are keen to understand if and how organisations currently plan for a young person’s transition from accessing services for children to services for adults across all sectors (eg health, social care, voluntary sector partners, etc).

What is Local Area Coordination?
Local Area Coordination is a community-based approach that helps people stay strong, safe, and connected. It focuses on building relationships and supporting individuals to achieve their goals.

The Local Safeguarding Children Partnerships (LSCPs) need your help to plan the content of their safeguarding children training programme in 2024/25 (starting April 2024).

The questionnaire should take less than 10 minutes to complete.

The LSCP will continue to offer the core training below:
- Introduction to Safeguarding Children
- Multi-Agency Safeguarding and Child Protection
- Safer Recruitment

The Local Safeguarding Children Partnership Multi-agency Safeguarding Children Training Programme is open to practitioners who work in either Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, or Westminster.

Across the year, the LSCP run a number of training sessions for the local VCS.

Applications are open for our Future Makers traineeship, running from 27 - 31 May 2024.

During this 5-day programme, trainees will be taught furniture-making skills, gain career guidance, and get an introduction to sustainable design and making practices.

The traineeship is free and open to those aged 16 to 25, who are studying and/or living in RBKC.

In collaboration with NHS North West London, Ubuntu Pledge are offering NHS App training sessions to communities in K&C, Brent, and Westminster who face barriers to accessing digital health services.

The Greater London Authority are working alongside Communities Prepared and Groundwork London to develop the first ever London Community Resilience Toolkit. This toolkit will be designed for community partners to use locally.

They ask you to please complete this survey to input your views on what you’d like the London Community Resilience Toolkit to look like.

The Community Enterprise project with Community Catalysts and RBKC is a new Adult Social Care programme, which will run for two years and aims to stimulate the development and growth of community enterprises.  

They plan to work with other local partners to find people who might be interested in setting up enterprises and provide business training and support.  

Another component of the project is helping people with disabilities to set up the enterprises themselves.

Just 2 hours a week could make a difference that lasts a lifetime.

Home-Start Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham is looking for people to join their network of trained volunteers, supporting families with young children in tri-borough that are facing difficulties such as post-natal depression, social isolation, and financial worries.
