Annual Update

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: Annual Safeguarding Update Training – Would be completed as a part of KCSIE 2024 annual update staff.

What is the difference between face-to-face, live virtual, and pre-recorded training options?

As far as possible, our Annual Update training are 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.

I struggle to get all of my staff available at one time to complete training, what is my best option?

You can join ECP’s Safeguarding Society. By becoming a member with ECP, you can have unlimited access to a self-paced version of Child Protection Awareness Training – as well as other vital courses – via our training platform throughout the academic year.

Staff will then be able to log onto your membership portal and complete the training at a time that suits them – and you! Find out more here.

Do I need this training for my role in school?

This training is a statutory requirement for all members of your staff community (Including heads and SLT) to complete yearly.

---

Will I receive a certificate?

You will receive a PDF certificate for attending our training sessions, and a copy will also be sent to your school. Annual Update Training with ECP is certified for you and your School’s single central training record. 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 (E.G inset days) 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 school.

Reviews

Thank you for our whole school annual update training. It was absolutely amazing. I've never had staff approach me after a child protection session to say they enjoyed the training before. I have now! Teachers and support staff were completely engaged in the whole presentation. What made a difference I think, in addition to her confidence and knowledge, was the trainer’s own vast experience in social care. Thank you.
