WHY WE HAVE DEVELOPED AN ONLINE SAFEGUARDING
& CHILD PROTECTION TRAINING COURSE
• Providing a safe learning environment for children and vulnerable
adults is at the heart of everything we do
• We’re proud of our track record for Safer Recruitment and have
been awarded the DfE Quality Mark at 100% for seventh consecutive time
• Temporary staff often fall outside the remit of three yearly training for
safeguarding and child protection
• We have a duty of care to ensure that all of our temporary staff have
the skills and sensitivity to deal with safeguarding and child protection

WHY WE HAVE DEVELOPED AN ONLINE SAFEGUARDING
& CHILD PROTECTION TRAINING COURSE
• Feedback on our training is that it has given schools greater confidence in
skills of our staff working in their school
• We are responding to feedback from partner schools who want online
training for ALL members of staff
• Market research found that 86% of schools delivered their existing
training offline, with 67% feeling that an online solution would make their
training more effective
• 80% of schools and colleges surveyed were dissatisfied with some
elements of their current safeguarding training provision
