Essential learning

Perth and Kinross Council has developed three essential protecting people modules e-learning modules  (Child Protection, Adult Support & Protection and GIRFEC) which are available free to all practitioners, managers, supervisors, carers and volunteers from all agencies and services (public, private and third sectors) in Perth and Kinross.  If you are looking to start your learning, this is the place to begin. All our other inter-agency child protection learning opportunities build from here. The modules take around 20 minutes each to complete.
