About this course

Safeguarding is preventative. It involves protecting children’s safety and wellbeing, whilst also encouraging their natural, healthy development – academically, physically, socially, and emotionally.

Child protection is a part of safeguarding. It focuses on an individual child who is suffering, or likely to suffer harm, and aims to protect them through child protection procedures which clearly set out how concerns should be addressed.

During this Safeguarding Children Level 3 course, we begin by taking you through levels 1 and 2 to cover the basics that all people working with children need to be aware of. We then build on this to discuss the level 3 aspects which are specific to your role as a DSL.

This training is a great introduction if you’re new to Level 3 for DSLs and it’s also an incredibly valuable refresher if you’re already experienced. Although it doesn’t cover minute details connected to your workplace in particular, it does complement your organisation’s policies and procedures – so please refresh yourself on those whenever you need to.

This course is also a valuable introduction for anybody in an organisation that works with children with lead safeguarding responsibilities.

Very comprehensive and in line with most up to date legal requirements

I can certainly recommend and rate this course as one the most up to date. It is well structured and delivered in small steps and stages covering all aspects of safeguarding. It is very interactive and the test mechanism at the end encourages the participants to keep going back and revisiting the units where they might have missed on some important aspects.

Really good points covered

This was a very informative course, I have learnt so much.

Clear and concise training

This course, albeit lengthy, gives clear guidance on the mandatory requirements of the DSL role and tests the knowledge appropriately.

Increased understanding

I feel that I will have a better understanding when attending a Child Protection Conference as part of a Safeguarding group and be able to identify the category of harm.

Informative

Informative and covered interesting topics. The extra questions between slides are good and the extra pdf documents supplied for download are also very useful.

excellent

Training was excellent refreshed on a range of safeguarding topics. Very beneficial.
