At Services For Education, the expertise of our safeguarding team allows us to a wide variety of specialist safeguarding courses to suit all job roles that involve both working directly with children and working in a child-based setting. Our courses cater from whole staff general safeguarding training, to courses required by statutory guidance such as DSL courses and Safer Recruitment, to focused information and guidance on specific safeguarding issues such as CSE, FGM, safer recruitment or sexual violence and sexual harassment. We offer a mix of online and face to face sessions to suit all needs. We also have a regularly updated online safeguarding subscription, containing training webinars, blogs and resources providing clear, concise and up-to-date guidance in the field of safeguarding.

“By coming on these courses, you can rest assured that your staff will be trained to their jobs effectively, to do all that they can to keep your children safe from harm.”

Jo Perrin – Services For Education

“Due to the nature of the materials the course was very intense, however the presenters were very knowledgeable and took their time to fully explain and answer questions thoroughly.

The course materials were very detailed and concise and I am sure will be invaluable as I start this journey into an area that is completely alien. It was great to go over specific examples and talk through the best way to approach the concerns.”
