Safeguarding children training

Would you know what to do if you suspected a child in your care might be at risk of harm? Our courses will help you understand your responsibilities.

Do you know how to safeguard and protect children?

If you work with children, you have a responsibility to help to protect them. You must be aware of your roles and responsibilities in relation to safeguarding, child protection and the welfare of children. Children are vulnerable and rely on adults to help them to feel safe and secure. You have a responsibility to ensure that children are able to grow and develop in a safe and stimulating environment.

The introduction of the Annex C: Criteria for effective safeguarding training sets out the minimum requirements for effective safeguarding training, helping providers know what they must be looking for in a safeguarding course and also what information a course must contain. Requiring a training renewal period of every two years strengthens safety.

We have developed two new courses that meet the criteria for effective safeguarding training outlined in Annex C of the EYFS safeguarding reforms (effective 1 September 2025):

Safeguarding children for Designated Safeguarding Leads

Designed for DSLs. Meets all the criteria for effective safeguarding training outlined in Annex C of the EYFS safeguarding reforms (effective 1 September 2025). In every setting, a practitioner must be designated to take lead responsibility for safeguarding children. In childminding settings, the childminder is the Designated Safeguarding Lead.

Safeguarding children for staff 

Designed for staff (childminder assistants, nursery workers, nannies etc.). Fulfils part one and two of the criteria for effective safeguarding training outlined in Annex C of the EYFS safeguarding reforms (effective 1 September 2025).

"Excellent training with lots of resources provided to further knowledge and to keep as reference material."

The content of these course has been reviewed by a NCFE subject specialist demonstrating the quality and rigor and we have achieved NCFE’s ‘Cache Endorsed Programme’ status for all the content for both courses.

 

Learners will have the opportunity to watch video clips, download resources, reflect on their practice, read practical examples, and check their understanding. The information, extra information links and activities provided are designed to offer practical ideas to promote further thinking/reflective practice about safeguarding children.

After completing a quiz at the end of each part and an evaluation survey, learners will be able to download a certificate of completion.
