Overview

What this course covers

Designated safeguarding leads and supervisors need more than general awareness, they must be ready to receive disclosures, share information lawfully and lead a coordinated response. This programme is grounded in key legislation including the Children Act 1989 and 2004, the Care Act 2014 and Working Together to Safeguard Children.

Learners cover how to apply a structured judgement process when assessing a concern and how to document a disclosure sensitively. The course builds the confidence needed to act decisively across education, health, social care, sport and charity settings.

Excellent support and guidance

I spoke with a gentleman called Nathan today. He was very friendly and took me through all of the available options for the course I am interested in. He explained everything in great detail, made sure I understood everything and was very patient with me during the call. He ensured that all of my questions were answered and that I felt confident about the next steps before ending the call. His professionalism, knowledge and approachable manner made the whole process much less daunting. Thank you, Nathan, for all your help!
