Training & Consultancy 

Vaughan Training & Consultancy LTD, Investigative Interviewing specialists. Our child protection teams are highly experienced

The more my colleagues and I heard about Victoria, the more we came to know her as a loveable child, and our hearts went out to her. However, neither Victoria’s intelligence nor her lovable nature could save her. In the end she died a slow, lonely, death – abandoned, unheard and unnoticed.’(Laming, 2003)

Vaughan Training & Consultancy LTD aim to provide you with all your needs to comply with legislative requirements in respect of Child Safeguarding Training so that children like Victoria can be identified, safeguarded and their welfare promoted.

There will be different training needed according to their roles and responsibilities. Refresher training should be provided every 3 years.
