This course has been updated to comply with and include changes from Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) 2026 and Working Together to Safeguard Children (WTSC) 2026 legislation. This legislation came into force on 1st September 2026 and was published by the Department for Education.
Our Level 2 Safeguarding Children Refresher course is designed for those who have already completed their training, whether face-to-face or digitally, and are looking to update and refresh their knowledge.
Our Level 2 Safeguarding Children course explores safeguarding in depth and is suitable if you have extra safeguarding responsibilities as part of your role. It covers key safeguarding topics such as safeguarding jargon and terminology, working in a multi-agency approach and best practice.
It will also provide you with the knowledge you need to identify the signs and symptoms of abuse, as well as what must be done if you suspect a child is being abused or a child discloses sensitive information to you.
We also offer Safeguarding Children Training for Level 1 and Level 3
Unsure if you require Level 1, 2 or 3 Safeguarding Children training? Check out our short guide to find the course that best matches your needs and requirements here.
It is a statutory requirement for anyone who works with children to have up-to-date knowledge of safeguarding policies, legislation and guidance so they can proactively focus on keeping them safe from harm and maintain the ability to act on any concerns about the safety and welfare of children and young people.
With easy-to-follow and interactive safeguarding refresher course materials, this is an excellent way to refresh an individual’s professional knowledge of child safeguarding.
This safeguarding level 2 refresher course uses immersive real-world scenarios to help professionals apply knowledge to everyday life. These real-world scenarios and the supporting case studies will enable learners to see how their training can apply to them in their role. A key aim of this training is to provide learners with a strong context to the training so they can easily relate to the situations presented to them within the training.
The refresher training allows learners to choose which areas they want to refresh their knowledge in. This helps to improve the learner experience as they study the modules best suited to their needs.
On completion of this course, learners will be able to:
- Apply the changes to practice made over the past three years to your work
- Identify different levels of harm and follow the appropriate safeguarding procedures
- Collect safeguarding children information from both a local and national context
Safeguarding Children Level 2 is underpinned by the principles of:
- Working together to safeguard children
