Learning Resources and Events
The BSCP and its partners are committed to ensuring learning and improvement takes place. We strive to build a better Bromley for our children and young people by listening to children, young people and their families, learning from professional practice and taking a lead on change. This involves developing a culture of reflective practice, through sharing best practice to promote a growing understanding of what works well and rigorous analysis when things go wrong.
We learn through conducting multi-agency learning reviews, including Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews (formerly Serious Case Reviews), through auditing, user and staff feedback, inspection and safeguarding reports, evaluations, and performance data and intelligence.
We hold seminars and lunchtime briefings to share learning with staff and hold a large annual conference every autumn. Presentations and papers from these events are available below. Learning is embedded in to our training courses and policies and procedures. We also share learning through our App 'push notifications' and our videos.
