We work with a wide range of organisations across all sectors in England, providing online, face-to-face and live virtual training and consultancy services.
As experts in safeguarding and child protection, we understand the issues organisations and people working with children can face. That's why professionals trust us to provide the support, training and resources they need to help protect the children and young people they work with. And, as a charity, income generated from the sale of our training courses is reinvested back into the NSPCC to help protect children.
Our training follows the statutory guidance set out in Working together to safeguard children1 and all other key legislation and guidance.
