What does safeguarding children mean?
Safeguarding children means protecting children from harm and promoting their welfare. It includes protecting children from abuse and neglect, preventing harm to their health or development, ensuring they receive safe and effective care, and taking action to help them achieve the best outcomes.
If you are concerned about a child and you think they are in immediate danger don’t delay – call the police on 999, or call the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000 straight away.
Who is Safeguarding Children Level 1 training for?
This Introductory Safeguarding Children course is designed for anyone (including volunteers) who has infrequent contact with children, young people and/or parents/carers, but who may become aware of possible abuse or neglect.
Anyone who encounters children or young people should have safeguarding training and gain the necessary skills to confidently protect the children within their workplace and, in some cases, their personal life.
The training is often completed by librarians, GP and hospital receptionists, administrative staff, community advice centre staff, grounds staff, recreation assistants, environmental health officers.
If you require more advanced safeguarding training because you work more closely with children or have greater safeguarding responsibilities, take our Safeguarding Children Level 2 training course, which provides more in-depth knowledge of recognising, responding to and reporting safeguarding concerns.

Why is safeguarding children training important?
Everyone working closely with children or young people within an organisation is responsible for protecting them from abuse and neglect.
An essential part of safeguarding is being able to identify children who are at risk. Any child can be in danger of abuse, and everyone reacts differently. Knowing what signs to look out for is vital in allowing you to intervene, preventing further abuse and getting the child the safety and support they need.
Staff who work with or have contact with children should receive appropriate safeguarding training for their role.
Sometimes it is up to you to spot the right signs and take the necessary action. This online course will improve your awareness of these signs.
