Full-day, facilitator-led Robyn and Molly simulation training for police officers and staff, focusing on child sexual exploitation and trauma-informed investigative practice. Suitable for groups of up to 20 participants. £2,100 per training day, plus travel and accommodation costs where applicable. Advance arrangements and booking authorisation are required.

Detailed Description

Robyn and Molly is a full-day, simulation-based training programme developed collaboratively by the University of Kent's Centre for Child Protection and Kent Police, with support from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).

The training focuses on child sexual exploitation (CSE), supporting police officers and staff to develop and apply trauma-informed, child-centred approaches throughout their interactions with children and young people and the investigative process.

Through an immersive serious-game simulation, participants explore realistic scenarios, reflect on professional decision-making and consider how trauma can influence children's experiences, behaviours and engagement with professionals.

The programme is suitable for both frontline and investigating officers, with learning and facilitated discussions tailored to the roles and responsibilities of the participating group.

Cancellations and rescheduling:

Every effort will be made by both the Centre for Child Protection and the commissioning organisation to honour agreed training arrangements and avoid cancellations. However, we recognise that emergencies, operational demands or other unforeseen circumstances may occasionally arise. Should either party need to cancel or postpone an agreed training session, we ask that they notify the other as soon as possible. Wherever possible, we will work collaboratively to arrange a mutually convenient alternative date, with the original training fee transferred to the rescheduled session. Where the commissioning organisation requests a cancellation or postponement after travel or accommodation arrangements have been made, any reasonable, non-refundable expenses already incurred may remain payable. These will be discussed transparently with the commissioning organisation. If the Centre for Child Protection is unable to deliver the training and a mutually convenient alternative date cannot be agreed, a full refund of the training fee will be arranged.
