Abuse survivor stressed about safeguarding training

I've had to book onto a generalist safeguarding course because I'm about to start doing some volunteer work. My own childhood was not good and I experienced most of the types of abuse we will be learning about (I'm in long-term counselling). So this will probably bring stuff up.

I realised I'm stressed partly because I don't know what's involved in the course. I know WHAT is covered, but not HOW it's taught, eg if we have to do role plays or watch videos or whatever, and I feel quite anxious as a result. I would feel better if I had more information so I can feel more prepared.

So I wondered if anyone who has been on a generalist safeguarding course can tell me what's actually involved and how it's taught as I think I would feel much better about it then. Thank you in advance.

Is it the online course from VC?

I did that last year, it is almost entirely about the procedures... what to look for and how to report it.

Nope, it's a three-hour face to face one.
