Child Protection Course

A Child Protection Course for all interested members will be held in conjunction with the BDS AGM on 22 April 2006 at the Hinckley Island Hotel, Leicestershire, starting at approximately 1.30 pm

This will be a free, Certificated course and has been put on due to popular demand. Names have to be supplied to the Secretary as places are limited and names are needed for the Certificate.

Normally to attend this course would cost an individual member, but we are offering it free and feel that all people who work in any way with children need to be aware and have attended such a course.
