Frequently Asked Questions

Will I need to complete the Safeguarding Children (Advanced) course as well as the Designated Safeguarding Lead / Person?

No. The Designated Safeguarding Lead course contains the same material as the Safeguarding Children (Advanced) course. But it also contains more information relevant to those that perform the Safeguarding Lead / Person role.

Is this level 3?

We do not refer to this course as being level 3. Some Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) may still refer to ‘levels’, as originally set out in Working Together to Safeguard Children 2010, but references to levels were taken out of Working Together to Safeguard Children 2013 and they have not been used since then.
