Safeguarding Children - Level 3 Training

Safeguarding is preventative. It involves protecting children’s safety and wellbeing, whilst also encouraging their natural, healthy development - academically, physically, socially, and emotionally.

Child protection is a part of safeguarding. It focuses on an individual child who is suffering, or likely to suffer harm, and aims to protect them through child protection procedures which clearly set out how concerns should be addressed.

During this Safeguarding Children Level 3 course, we begin by taking you through levels 1 and 2 to cover the basics that all people working with children need to be aware of. We then build on this to discuss the level 3 aspects which are specific to your role as a DSL.

This training is a great introduction if you’re new to Level 3 for DSLs and it’s also an incredibly valuable refresher if you’re already experienced. Although it doesn’t cover minute details connected to your workplace in particular, it does complement your organisation’s policies and procedures - so please refresh yourself on those whenever you need to.

This course is also a valuable introduction for anybody in an organisation that works with children with lead safeguarding responsibilities.
