A refreshed Multi-Agency Training Timetable has been published by Falkirk Council, with learning and development opportunities available from February – June 2026. Practitioners and managers across Children and Adult Services are invited to review the programme and sign up for sessions relevant to their role and professional development needs.

The timetable brings together a broad range of multi-agency training – including third sector – designed to strengthen practice, promote collaboration, and support continuous professional learning.
