FAQs

What level training is this course?

Since the implementation of Safeguarding Partnerships, most sectors have moved away from using the term ‘levels’. The expectation is that you will undertake training which is relevant to the role you take in the organisation.

For example: Professional Curiosity workshop – would be completed by every member of a staff community that works in an early years setting.

Professional Curiosity workshop would have previously been known as level 1 – basic child protection training.

Some times of the year are especially busy so we advise you book up to a year or more in advance, especially if there is a specific date and time you would like to secure.
