Safeguarding Level 1 (Wraparound Childcare or New Early Years staff)

Aims

This is not a full safeguarding course and is not appropriate for anyone who makes referrals, such as childminders or Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs), as it does not meet the requirements for DSLs as set out in Annex C of the EYFS.

This half-day course is specifically for Wraparound Childcare practitioners or new early years staff, as an introduction to Section 3 of the EYFS (2025): The safeguarding and welfare requirements – Safeguarding policies and procedures, and concerns about children’s safety and welfare.

It will:

• Present the four types of child abuse and help practitioners recognise indicators of harm or need in children and their families
• Introduce the legal, policy and procedural frameworks that aim to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and their families
• Inform practitioners of their legal responsibilities in safeguarding children and the local authority arrangements for managing safeguarding.

Summary

: At the end of the course staff will:

• Know what constitutes child abuse
• Know who to speak to if you are concerned a child is being abused
• Know what you should do if you are worried about a child and how to complete an appropriate referral to the relevant agency
• Know what will happen after those discussions

This is often an oversubscribed course so you must confirm and pay within 72 hours of making your booking.
