Safeguarding knowledge is a requirement for anyone working with vulnerable individuals, specifically children and adults at risk of abuse, neglect and harm. Our online safeguarding courses help trainees identify, stop and prevent abuse and neglect in children and vulnerable adults. Courses are structured at different proficiency levels to suit specific roles, responsibilities and legal obligations.
We offer safeguarding training courses specific to working with children and adults. Both pathways offer comprehensive and up-to-date training to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to recognise, prevent, and respond effectively to instances of abuse, neglect, or exploitation in their field.
In England, 541,535 concerns of vulnerable adult abuse were raised during 2021-22, according to the National Health Service (NHS). Figures are similar for children. According to the NSPCC, about half a million children in the UK suffer from abuse every year. These statistics emphasise the need for proactive measures to address abuse and safeguard vulnerable individuals.
Safeguarding courses train users to identify signs of abuse and take appropriate action to prevent harm and ensure the safety and wellbeing of those at risk. By raising awareness, developing knowledge and promoting a culture of vigilance, these courses play a significant role in breaking the cycle of abuse and protecting vulnerable children and adults.
Every individual who comes into contact with a child or vulnerable adult has a responsibility and a role to help keep them safe. If your work involves interacting with or providing services to vulnerable children and adults in the UK, you must understand the relevant safeguarding laws and regulations.

Safeguarding courses are programmes designed to train anyone working with children and vulnerable individuals at risk of abuse, neglect, or harm.
Safeguarding training is structured into three distinct levels. Level one serves as an introductory course to familiarise individuals with basic safeguarding principles. Level two is designed for individuals needing a more advanced understanding of safeguarding, especially those regularly in close contact with vulnerable children or adults. Level three safeguarding training is for anyone in a safeguarding lead role and acting as the the first point of contact for staff or individuals with safeguarding concerns.
To get your safeguarding training certificate, you must participate in the course content and pass all assessments. All courses are online and assessments are usually multiple choice depending on the level of training you’re completing. After you’ve completed the necessary assessments, you’ll be able to download and print your certificate immediately.
