ANNUAL update

Course Outline

Keeping Children Safe in Education (September 2023) states that staff are to receive an annual update in relation to Safeguarding. Our 90 minute annual update provides the latest information regarding:

  • Reviewing safeguarding procedures and processes
  • Introduction to challenging topics including mental health and domestic abuse
  • Recognition of sexual violence and sexual harassment (child on child abuse)
  • Understanding staff professional behaviour – including allegations against staff and low-level concerns
  • Responding effectively when concerns are identified, considering mental capacity
  • Implementing robust record keeping

Target Audience

All staff within your provision.


FAQs

What level training is this course?

Since the implementation of Safeguarding Partnerships/Boards, most sectors have moved away from using the term ‘levels’. The expectation is that you will undertake training which is relevant to the role you take in the organisation.

For example: Annual Safeguarding Update Training – would be completed by all staff within your provision.


What is the difference between face-to-face, live virtual, and self-paced training options?

As far as possible, our Annual update Training is as close to being the same as it can be! All the required content is covered to the highest standard, and we aim to keep as much interaction and engagement in all of our sessions as we do in our face-to-face training.


I struggle to get all of my staff available at one time to complete training, what is my best option?

You can join ECP’s F.E. Safeguarding Society. By becoming a member with ECP, you can have unlimited access to a recorded version of Annual Update Training – as well as other vital courses – via our training platform throughout the academic year.

Staff will then be able to log onto your membership portal and complete the training at a time that suits them – and you!


Do I need this training for my role in my provision?

This training is a statutory requirement for all members of your staff community (Including leadership) to complete yearly.


Will I receive a certificate?

You will receive a PDF certificate for attending our training sessions. Annual Update Training with ECP is certified for you and your single central training record. You need to ensure you are available and engaged for the full duration of the training session in order to receive your certificate.


How many people can attend the training?

There is no minimum / maximum number of delegates who can attend the training.


How do I book this training?

Our training is booked using the online booking form via the ‘BOOK NOW’ button on the Course tab of this page. Once completed, you will receive confirmation that your form has been submitted, then you will receive an email confirmation of your booking. Bookings are not confirmed until you have received this as we may have questions we need to ask you or the date you request may not be available.

If you would like to contact us to check availability or ask any further questions before completing the booking form, please call us on 01727 808340 or via the chat function on the website.

All availability is managed on a first come first served basis and we cannot reserve dates, so by completing the booking form quickly you are most likely to get your preferred date.


What information will I need in order to make a booking?

To complete our booking form, we will need to know how many delegates will be accessing the training, which date you would like the training to start (for 4 weeks access), and invoicing details of how payment will be made.

Once the booking form is submitted, we will contact you if we have any further questions.

Reviews

In 15 years of leadership, ECP has always provided the highest standard of training I have ever undertaken, thank you very much for the session today.

Thank you for our annual update training. It was absolutely amazing. I've never had staff approach me after a session to say they enjoyed the training before. I have now! Staff were completely engaged in the whole presentation. What made a difference I think, in addition to her confidence and knowledge, was the trainer’s own vast experience. Thank you.
