Safeguarding in Early Years Settings

 Back to Courses
Duration

4 - 6 hours

Suitable for

School Leaders, Governors and Trustees, Designated Safeguarding Leads

Location

Online, Bespoke

This course is for practitioners and support staff in early years settings. Very young children often cannot tell us what is happening to them, so the adults caring for them are often the first to notice something is wrong. Drawing on the EYFS and local regulatory frameworks, it builds the confidence to spot concerns early and act on them.
