This course is designed to equip leads and managers to undertake the role of the Designated Safeguarding Lead (or deputy) within their organisation. The course covers guidance and legalisation which directly impacts their role as well as developing confidence in implementing support, and the operational side of safeguarding. This includes making referrals, record keeping and supporting staff teams.

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.
If in doubt, reach out and we will be able to clarify what this equivalent level of training is.
Do I need this training for my role?
This training is a statutory requirement for all members of your staff who are a named member of your Designated Safeguarding team. The requirement is to complete this training and renew at least once every 2 years – alongside annual safeguarding update training and 3 yearly Child Protection Awareness training.
Will I receive a certificate?
You will receive a PDF certificate for attending our training sessions. Designated Safeguarding Lead Training with ECP is CPD certified. You need to ensure you are available and engaged for the full duration of the training session in order to receive your certificate.

How many people can I book onto this training?
