EG Age Assessments Consultancy is CDP-accredited, providing both in-person and webinar-based age assessment training for a broad client base across the UK, helping them grow their own capacity and undertake case law-compliant age assessments.
The training courses we offer cater to not only Local Authorities, but also Independent Social Workers, legal firms, NGOs, and private sector entities. This training equips our clients to conduct age assessments in compliance with Merton and case law standards.
Formerly known as the ‘Full age assessment training (CPD accredited)’, this course has been modified in light of new legal cases and court mandates, focusing on Merton and Case Law Compliant Age Assessments, approved by CPD UK. We will no longer refer to it as a ‘short’ or ‘full’ form assessment. Each participant completing this course will receive a CPD Certified Certificate.
Available as a 1-day in-person training course, or as an e-learning course with webinar support.
