Safeguarding training

All organisations must have the right safeguarding training in place and review that training every year.

You can design your own training based on resources you find online and expertise in your organisation, or you can turn to local organisations. This includes infrastructure organisations and safeguarding boards or partnerships. You can also choose from online or face-to-face training courses from national providers.

If you're thinking about booking or commissioning training use our information about planning your safeguarding training to help you pick the right course for your organisation.
