Learning and Development

This page is in development – we are developing a new Children’s Services Learning and Development Calendar, look out for briefings on this.

GIRFEC Training: Informed and Skilled

The 2 online courses below are published by NHS Education for Scotland (NES). 

There are 2 levels of GIRFEC eLearning: Informed and Skilled.    

  The approach agreed by the GIRFEC Leadership Group is that: 

  • All staff in services that are accessed by children/young people will be expected to complete the Informed Level.  
  • Staff in the role of named person, or lead professional will be expected to also complete the Skilled Level.  
  • GIRFEC eLearning will be incorporated into the induction process for staff in related services.  

You will need a Turas Login to access the GIRFEC resources below. Anyone can set up a Turas login, you do not need to be NHS staff to do this. Click here to set up a Turas Login.
