Core safeguarding principles and reporting procedures for FE staff.
This CPD-certified online course is designed for staff working within the Further Education sector, including tutors, classroom support, admin teams, counselling staff, facilities personnel, and senior management. It provides a clear and practical understanding of safeguarding principles, legal responsibilities, and appropriate responses to safeguarding concerns involving children, young people, and vulnerable adults. Learners will develop the confidence and competence to identify risks, recognise types of abuse, understand disclosure procedures, and follow safeguarding policies in line with statutory guidance. Most FE teams have never had structured safeguarding training beyond a staff handbook nobody's opened. This course closes that gap in two hours, no classroom required.
