This course is designed to develop the skills and knowledge of those staff members within settings who have greater responsibilities within safeguarding, including those with designated safeguarding lead (DSL) status. The course is constantly updated in the light of changes in law, policy and practice and therefore also serves as a useful refresher for those who have undertaken DSL training before.

• Update important safeguarding knowledge and training requirements.
• Understand the components of effective safeguarding policy and procedures.
• Practice making referrals.
• Understand professional challenge and formal escalation.
