- Identify different levels of harm and follow the appropriate safeguarding procedures
- Collect safeguarding information from both a local and national context
Who needs safeguarding training?
Anyone who works with vulnerable children, young people, or adults is legally required to have an up-to-date understanding of safeguarding procedures and legislation. It is expected that they can safely and confidentially report any potential cases of mistreatment, abuse, and neglect. If you work alongside vulnerable individuals, you will need to complete a training course to demonstrate your understanding of the safeguarding process.
What level of safeguarding training do I need?
This safeguarding Level 3 training package includes advanced courses designed to protect both adults and children. For more information on choosing the appropriate certification for your role, read our safeguarding training level guide.
Testing and certification
At the end of each course, there is a test consisting of multiple choice questions, for which a pass mark of at least 75% is required. Learners can have as many attempts at the test as is needed at no extra cost.
After achieving a pass mark of 75%, learners will be able to download and print CPD approved Virtual College safeguarding certificates for their records.
Course duration
Each safeguarding course should take 2-3 hours to complete, but this depends on how quickly you absorb the training material.
Progress is recorded throughout by the Virtual College Learning Management System, meaning you can take as long as you need to work your way through the course.

I recently completed the Food Hygiene course and found it very informative and easy to follow. The course explained important food safety practices clearly, including proper food handling, storage, cleaning, and preventing cross-contamination. The content was well-structured and practical, making it relevant for anyone working with food. I feel much more confident in understanding my responsibilities for maintaining high hygiene standards. Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their food safety knowledge.

Course was very in depth and brought out all salient points without it being too difficult to take in. I know this was an online course but it would be good if you could buy printed book detailing all that is on the course. This would make for easy reference when needed.
