Book onto our Level 2 Safeguarding Refresher courses
We create a full range of refresher training courses in conjunction with subject experts, meaning we can provide a tailored experience that matches your specific role and responsibilities.
Choose from our range of Level 2 Refresher Courses:
Need training specifically for children and young people? Our Safeguarding Children Level 2 Refresher focuses on child protection, covering updated legislation, signs of abuse specific to children, and appropriate responses to disclosures from young people.
Work specifically with vulnerable adults? Take our Safeguarding Adults Level 2 Refresher, which addresses adult protection procedures, capacity issues, and the unique vulnerabilities faced by adults at risk.
Need generalist refresher training? Our Safeguarding Everyone Level 2 Refresher covers both children and adults, making it ideal for professionals who work across different groups or in mixed settings.
Each course uses immersive real-world scenarios and bite-sized modules to help you apply updated knowledge to your everyday practice, ensuring the learning is relevant and practical.
Why is Safeguarding Refresher Training essential?
Your original Level 2 training may no longer be enough, as best practices in safeguarding and child protection are constantly changing in line with new legislation, processes and research. That’s why most employers require an update every two to three years.
Here’s why refreshing your training is vital.
- New legislation - Recent updates to statutory guidance could directly affect your legal duties
- Emerging threats - Risks like online exploitation and county lines weren't widely recognised just a few years ago
- Changed procedures - Reporting processes are regularly updated as technology changes and weaknesses are exposed
- Critical lessons - Recent serious case reviews bring new insights that can help to prevent future tragedies
Having current knowledge equips you to stay compliant and help those who need it most.

Who needs to take a Level 2 safeguarding refresher course?
Anyone who works regularly with children, young people or vulnerable adults and has previously completed Level 2 safeguarding training.
This could be:
- Teachers and school staff
- Healthcare practitioners
- Social workers and care managers
- Nursery workers and childminders
- Youth workers and sports coaches
- Care home staff
- Community support workers
All of these roles typically require mandatory safeguarding certification. To stay in line with employer requirements, book onto a refresher course today.
If you're taking safeguarding training for the first time, we’d suggest booking our initial Level 2 Safeguarding Training courses instead.
