Safeguarding

2. Safeguarding training

We offer two safeguarding courses specifically targeted to meet the needs of the early years workforce.

The Introduction to Safeguarding training is now virtual (with an optional live Q&A element). This allows for flexibility for practitioners accessing the course.

E-learning

There is a basic awareness raising e-learning course entitled 'Safeguarding Children Levels 1 and 2 v2' (takes approximately 4 hrs to complete) and can be found via the Children's Safeguarding Assurance Partnership.

Prevent duty

There has been some recent updates to the Prevent Duty risk assessment templates for use within early years, schools and further education settings. The link below provides guidance on how to complete a risk assessment with separate templates for each type of education environment. The use of these templates is not mandatory, but the guidance does refer to statutory requirements of the Prevent duty.

For further information see the following pages on the government's website:
