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.
