Designated Safeguarding Lead Refresher (virtual learning)

Join Kate for this 1 day refresher course on the 21 September 2023

Fully updated to include 2023 updates to government guidance.

We will be using a virtual classroom. It will also be as interactive (if not more so) than being in an actual classroom together.

We’ll meet beforehand in our virtual learning space, where you can meet you other participants and get to know them ahead of the day. You can also talk to me, set your own learning objectives. You can start the learning process as soon as you join by watching the videos inside our learning platform. This will ensure you are ready and prepared to put your learning into practice on the day of our session.

The Live Virtual Training is on the 21 September 2023 9.30am – 4.30pm

This one day refresher will return to the key topics of the initial two day training. It is case study based and will provide updates to any legislation and guidance changes. This ensures all staff are fully compliant with the statutory requirements of working with children and young people.

This course is compliant with the statutory requirements of Keeping Children Safe in Education 2023 and Working Together to Safeguard Children guidance.
