Description:

Strengthen your leadership in safeguarding with Best Skills Training's CPD-accredited safeguarding training for managers, a targeted safeguarding lead course UK for education and care leaders responsible for safeguarding policies and teams.  Across UK schools, colleges, and residential settings, managers oversee safeguarding compliance under Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) 2024 and Working Together to Safeguard Children 2023 regulations that demand strategic oversight, not just frontline awareness. Our training builds on advanced safeguarding training principles, preparing you to lead safeguarding culture, manage referrals, and support staff as a designated safeguarding lead (DSL) or deputy. Unlike generic safeguarding training online courses, this curriculum aligns with more engaging modules covering DSL foundations, risk assessment, referrals, and digital safeguarding. Start with legal duties under the Children Act 1989, LADO liaisons, and your statutory role. Moreover, learn Implementing Safeguarding Strategies, including core group facilitation, multi-agency working, and embedding best practices.  Additionally, develop tailored practices for young people with SEND, then address safeguarding concerns, respond to risks, manage disclosures and immediate interventions.  Engage via family partnership and engagement, navigate the legal and guidance framework, resolve issues through escalation and dispute resolution, and follow the recommendations for DSL referrals. Our training is fully online in interactive video modules based on real-life situations from England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. With our expert support, earn a free digital CPD certificate for compliance and CV enhancement. With safeguarding referrals rising, make yourself known to the leadership quality. Enrol now and lead safeguarding with clarity.
