FIS training: Level 3 Advanced Safeguarding for Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs)

The Level 3 Advanced Safeguarding training helps to understand the safeguarding process in more detail.

The training uses a variety of written activities and interactive exercises to help review and develop the child protection procedures within the setting and ensure that all staff members understand their responsibilities towards safeguarding children. 

This training includes topics relating to:

  • allegations of abuse against a staff member and how to deal with these
  • understanding key legislation and guidance which underpins settings policy for children’s safety and welfare
  • roles to play in the multi-agency child protection process including case conferences
  • providing written reports

This training is delivered over two days, and you must attend both days to complete the training.
