SSAB Training Programme 2021/22

The Surrey Safeguarding Adults Board (SSAB) are pleased to offer the following courses throughout the 2021/22 finance year.

These courses have been developed specifically by the board and the local authority for those working in Surrey. Given this we are unable to accept applications from agencies that do not work in Surrey.
The SSAB are pleased to be able to offer their courses free of charge to all agencies working with Adults with the county of Surrey, however failure to attend or notify the SSAB of a cancellation outside of the cancellation period will result in the cost being forwarded on to your organisation.

At present all our courses are being delivered virtually. Each candidate is required to use their own computer (one per candidate)

The SSAB are currently reviewing and agreeing their 2022/23 training offer, once this has been finalised further details will be released.

If you have any questions please contact the SSAB on surreysafeguarding.adultsboard@surreycc.gov.uk
