Course description

Our Safeguarding Children Level 3 Refresher training course is designed for anyone who has completed their training in the past, whether that is through face-to-face or digital courses, and is looking to refresh their knowledge.

It explores safeguarding as a topic including legislation, policies, signs and symptoms of abuse, as well as detailed information regarding reporting suspected abuse, whether it has been reported to them by a child, an adult or a member of staff.

We also offer Safeguarding Children Training at Level 1 and Level 2

Why take this course?

If you work with children as part of your role, it is a statutory requirement to have safeguarding training. As part of this requirement, it is essential that the training is update and refreshed regularly. This is why refresher courses are so important.

Though each company will decide how often the training is refreshed, a common recommendation is every two years. Though this will depend on your role, the more senior you are, the more frequently you are likely to need to update your training in order to keep in the know.
