“CYP First stand head and shoulders above any safeguarding and county lines training I have ever received”

Why we stand out...

  • "These people know their stuff and children can see that. Amazing sessions delivering age appropriate and on-trend subjects."

    Module: PSHE workshops

  • "Prepare your teams for the need to debrief post course because it really does open your eyes. I would highly recommend both the county lines and safeguarding modules...so much so that we've called for them to be mandatory training for new starters"

    Module: County Lines and Safeguarding

  • "I have experienced many training packages, modules and topics over the years. This company stand head and shoulders above any safeguarding and county lines training I have ever received."

    Module: Gang Exploited Girls

  • "I can’t believe you actually had OUR policy in the training!’ Usually it’s ’refer to your policy at a later date'."

    Keiran Dunn

  • "Working with Helen & Andy has been paramount in our response to Child Exploitation; the training they offer is excellent. Their professionalism, knowledge and passion is relevant, meaningful & inspirational"

    Service: Local Authority Awareness Raising Campaigns

  • “I have just watched one of the most up to date and thought provoking sessions within my career. Usually these webinars only tell me what I already knew, but this one had me glued to the screen. It is about time we started to address the main threats to our children and that is the internet and social media."

    Module: Safegaurding in a Desensitised World

  • "Not very many people understand the needs of young people in transition, but through their operational work, Helen & Andy have devised a course that really made me think about the needs of this age group and actually the lack of support they get, when they really need it most. Definitely food for thought! Thank you!"

    Module: Transitional and Contextual Safeguarding

  • "...through their operational work, Helen & Andy have devised a course that really made me think about the needs of this age group and actually the lack of support they get, when they really need it most."

    Module: Transitional Safeguarding

  • "Really enjoyed the training. Loved how it was so relatable, I've had training before and thought they don't understand staff who are there each day and deal with behaviours on a regular occurrence. Appreciate Andy took his time to share experiences and answer every question"

    Module: Child Sexual Exploitation

  • "Andy trained us and he is passionate, caring, humorous and straight to the point. He clearly leads his field in knowledge and expertise."
