SAFEGUARDING FOR PROFESSIONALS | LOCAL AUTHORITIES
Training targeted at staff who may have minimal or ad-hoc contact with service users, needing a basic awareness of adult safeguarding and child protection.
NB. This does NOT replace the statutory 3-hour training for frontline staff.
Frontline staff working in settings with minimal or ad-hoc contact with children and adults at risk.
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: introduction to safeguarding children & adults – would be completed by every member of a staff community.
Introduction to safeguarding children & adults training would have previously been known as level .
What is the difference between face-to-face and live virtual training options?
As far as possible, our introduction to safeguarding children & adults 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. Introduction to safeguarding children & adults 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 introduction to safeguarding adults has no minimum number of attendees, maximum number of attendees depends on the size of your organisation.

The training was very interesting and thought provoking, it highlighted how people generally in certain deprived conditions and people in certain jobs are very vulnerable and exposed.
