Safeguarding training

This bilingual e-learning package gives learners a practical understanding of safeguarding. We developed it in line with the Wales Safeguarding Procedures.

The e-learning module is mainly aimed at those working in the public and voluntary sectors. This includes those looking to work in social care, early years and childcare, as well as in health, the emergency services and local councils.

Completing the new bilingual training module will enable everyone to:

• explain the term 'safeguarding'
• recognise abuse or the risk of abuse, harm, or neglect
• know what actions to take if they witness or suspect abuse, harm, or neglect, or if someone tells them they are being abused
• demonstrate a basic understanding of the laws concerning safeguarding
• recognise that they have a duty to report abuse, harm, or neglect.

This pack is for people who run safeguarding training Wales for people in Group B.

It's designed to make sure Group B safeguarding training is consistent with Group B's safeguarding responsibilities.

This training is the minimum standard for people in Group B, but trainers can add extra content or personalise some slides to suit the group they're training.

We'd like to thank West Glamorgan Safeguarding Board and Gwent Safeguarding Board for allowing us to use their resources with us to shape this pack.

The content has evolved to reflect both the changing nature of safeguarding but also to give clear direction of the work under the Social Services and Well-Being (Wales) Act 2014.

For more information, please refer to the Wales Safeguarding Procedures and the Part 7 statutory guidance in the training.

The ‘Safeguarding individuals’ workbook – workbook 6 from the All Wales induction framework should be used to evidence learning achieved.
