If you work or volunteer with children and young people then you should undertake training to ensure you have the knowledge and skills you need to help keep children safe.
You may have heard terms like "safeguarding children level 3" or "level 1 safeguarding training". However, the definition of what levels 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 should cover varies depending on your sector and UK nation.
This means that different organisations may use the same terms but have different training requirements. We know it can seem confusing, so we recommend that you always check that the course aims and objectives meet your organisation's requirements. You'll find aims and objectives under the "What will I learn?" section on each of our course pages.
