If you haven’t already done so, please ensure you are signed up to the curriculum relevant to your role, a guide on how to do this and how to book training is found here.

Don’t forget, you must complete all training in the priority section of your curriculum before you will be able to book training in the recommended section. If recommended training is deemed essential for you to complete, your SSW should email ESCA@essex.gov.uk confirming the title of the course you should be booked on, dates of training and your full name and we can book you on.

Availability for all courses is limited, so book quickly to avoid disappointment!
