All organisations must have the right safeguarding training in place and review that training every year. You can design your own training based on resources you find online and expertise in your organisation or you can turn to local organisations, including infrastructure organisations and safeguarding boards or partnerships to see what they provide. You can also choose from online or face-to-face training courses from national providers.
If you are thinking about booking or commissioning training use our information about planning your safeguarding training to help you pick the right course for your organisation.
If you work with children, NSPCC offers guidance on mandatory safeguarding and child protection training in difference sectors (on NSPCC Learning).
