SAFEGUARDING FOR PROFESSIONALS | LOCAL AUTHORITIES
Statutory training meeting the requirement of the ‘robust 3-yearly training’ for whole staff communities.This course is essential for all staff working within the authority whose role includes contact/services provision for children and families. Exploring Duty of Care in line with Local Safeguarding Children Partnership (formally LSCB) procedures.

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: Child Protection Awareness – would be completed by every member of a staff community.
Child Protection Awareness training would have previously been known as level 1 – basic child protection training.
What is the difference between face-to-face and live virtual training options?
As far as possible, our Child Protection Awareness training is as close to being the same as they can be! All the required content is covered to the highest standard, and we aim to keep as much interaction and engagement in all of our sessions as we do in our face-to-face training.
Face-to-face is our preferred method of training, but we know this is not always possible so have made our live virtual and pre-recorded courses available so you don’t have to miss out on being able to access our courses.
Do I need this training for my role?
This training is a statutory requirement for all members of your staff community (Including leadership & management) to complete and renew at least once every 3 years – alongside annual safeguarding update training.
Will I receive a certificate?
You will receive a PDF certificate for attending our training sessions. Child Protection Awareness 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 far in advance can I book the training?
You can book your training as far in advance as you like! 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. If you know your training will be up for renewal the sooner you get the training date confirmed the more likely ECP will have availability to deliver your training.
How many people can attend the training?
Our face-to-face training numbers vary from course to course, and also take into consideration the size of the space we will be delivering the training in. The size of groups can vary.
Our virtual delivery of Child Protection Awareness has no minimum number of attendees, maximum number of attendees depends on the size of your organisation.

Really impressed with the presentation style, content and presenter. Best i've experienced so far. Varied mediums, engaging, thorough and interesting.

Carly delivered today's training session very well. The mood, timing, pace and content was just right. Liked having the mix of video, chat, polls. Obviously the link to a couple of the videos didn't work but this was recognised and addressed promptly.

Carly's training is brilliant and very straight forward and not fussy. Plain concise language and use of words and visual aids. very easy to absorb even thought the subject matter can be raw to deal with.
