Online Safeguarding Training

[Asvan]

Hi everyone

I am currently in the process of applying for a job at a school. I meet all the essential criteria on the person specification, apart from one. This criteria states that applicants should have at least a level 2 training qualification in safeguarding.

I am now wondering if I can do this online? And could anyone point me to any good websites that provide this course?

Thanks.

You can do part of it online but the intercollegiate documents for health workers specify at least 50% should be face to face. I would imagine it would be the same for schools. Also remember safeguarding training levels aren't like a one-off course as such but a series of competencies aligned to levels - 1 basic basic, 2 basic but with some knowledge and understanding of how to spot and report, through to level 5 for designated so I would put in your application that you're building your portfolio of evidence and have started with X course. Also have a look on the local child safeguarding partnership websites they offer a lot of training including a fair bit for free - just google CSP training and the name of your town/borough
