Leadership & Safeguarding Training for Managers

Like all those who work with children, young people and vulnerable adults it is the manager's responsibility to ensure those in their care are safeguarded properly. A manager in safeguarding will play a fundamental role in ensuring everyone is looked after and reports are made correctly.

Safeguarding managers will also liaise with other teams, the local authority, attend meetings and collaborate with other professionals.

Our Safeguarding and Leadership course takes approximately three hours to complete but the training can be done at your own pace as and when is suitable for you.

The certificate does not include an expiry date but we recommend you complete the training every 12 months to ensure your knowledge is fully up to date.

This online course consists of a series of pages in which an instructor will talk learners through the lesson material. Pages may include supporting pictures, graphs, animation or extra sounds to help with the learning where appropriate. Some lessons will include challenges/quizzes to help learners stay engaged and interested in the material. Lessons can be taken in any order and each lesson may be paused and resumed at any stage.

The course is self-paced so learners decide how fast or slow the training goes. There is no deadline for completion but some of our courses have a test at the end to check that learners have understood the material. If the course has a test at the end then learners are required to achieve a 75% pass mark to successfully complete the course. Once learners have passed the test they are awarded a certificate, which can either be downloaded digitally or sent as a physical copy if this option was chosen when purchasing the course.

Upon completion of any of our courses, learners will be able to download a digital certificate from Virtual College and will include the accrediting bodies logo where applicable.

If you have bought the posted certificate option (available on select courses), a high quality, seal embossed, certificate will be sent out at the beginning of the following working week.
