Our Accredited Safeguarding courses aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of safeguarding principles and practices. 

This course is designed to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to identify, prevent, and respond to safeguarding concerns across various settings. Participants will explore key concepts, legislation, and guidelines related to safeguarding vulnerable individuals, such as children, young people, and adults at risk. Through interactive discussions, case studies, and practical exercises, participants will enhance their ability to create safe environments and contribute to the protection of those in their care.

What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 3?
