About the Social Work Academy
To provide access to a wide range of learning opportunities, the Academy has forged partnerships with a variety of agencies and organisations.
The Camden Safeguarding Children Partnership is responsible for multi-agency working within the safeguarding and child protection arena in Camden, in partnership with police, health services and other agencies. The partnership provides multi-agency safeguarding training that enables social workers to learn alongside safeguarding partners in other agencies to ensure a truly multi-agency outlook on safeguarding children.
