What level training is this course?
Since the implementation of Safeguarding Partnerships, 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: Safeguarding Awareness – would be completed by every member of a staff community.
What is the difference between face-to-face, live virtual, and pre-recorded training options?
As far as possible, our Safeguarding Awareness training is as close to being the same as they 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.
Face-to-face is our preferred method of training, but we know this is not always possible so have made our virtual and Pre-recorded courses available so you don’t have to miss out on being able to make a booking.
Do I need this training for my Organisation?
This training is a statutory requirement for all members of your staff community that work with children & vulnerable adults, and it is best practise to renew at least once every 3 years.
Will I receive a Certificate?
You will receive a PDF certificate for attending our training sessions. Safeguarding Awareness Training with ECP is CPD certified for you and your Organisation’s 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 far in advance can I book the training?
You can book your training as far in advance as you like! Some times of the year are especially busy so we advise you book up to a year or more in advance, especially if there is a specific date and time you would like to secure. If you know your training will be up for renewal, the sooner you get the training date confirmed the more likely ECP will have availability to deliver your training.
How many people can attend the training?
Our face-to-face training numbers vary from course to course, and also take into consideration the size of the space we will be delivering the training in. The size of groups can vary from as small as 2 delegates to large groups of 200+.
Our virtual delivery of Safeguarding Awareness has no minimum number of attendees, maximum number of attendees is 50.

I have attended both several courses with Heather McDaid as the trainer. All sessions have been fantastic, absolutely on time with a very knowledgable trainer. I can defintely recommend these sessions to others. Very well organised and done. Some of the best training sessions I had in years.
