The Child Protection Training for Education Professionals, developed by our Education, Health and Prosecution teams, will take place at the Grand Hotel Malahide from 9.30 am to 1.00 pm.
This is a great opportunity for key stakeholders such as principals, teachers, designated liaison officer and board members in schools to take part in this first training session.
The training will be facilitated by Catherine Kelly, Partner in our Employment & Benefits team and Sonya Bruen, former social worker and Partner in our Health & Prosecution team specialising in child protection.
