What this course offers
This course provides a comprehensive approach to both safeguarding knowledge and training delivery. Learners will revisit key safeguarding principles, including types of abuse, recognising signs of concern, reporting procedures, and the responsibilities of staff within safeguarding frameworks.
Alongside this, participants will develop the skills needed to deliver effective training sessions. This includes understanding learning styles, structuring training content, engaging learners, and creating a positive learning environment that encourages participation and discussion.
Practical elements are a key part of the course, with learners delivering short training sessions and receiving constructive feedback. This helps build confidence and ensures participants are ready to deliver safeguarding training within their organisation in a professional and consistent way.
