Level 1 & Level 2 Safeguarding in Education

Sep 4 / Kate Marriott





Safeguarding knowledge and skills are an essential part of education . It's a crucial certification for all education professionals to hold.

Completing accredited Safeguarding training means that staff are aware of the signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect and can spot them as early as possible.
Education professionals who have a Safeguarding accreditation can recognise the signs and symptoms and know how to deal with Safeguarding concerns and disclosures properly.

The benefit of all Prospero Learning's training being online is that staff can complete the training at their own pace.

Completing safeguarding training not only fosters a safer working environment but also contributes to the overall well-being and protection of individuals who may be at risk.

Prospero Learning offers two different types of Safeguarding training courses. These are;

Level 1 Safeguarding in Education - free to enroll and complete
Level 2 Safeguarding in Education - £10 to enroll and complete - 50% off

Level 1 Safeguarding

Our CPD accredited Level 1 safeguarding training must be completed by all Prospero employees before they start working for us. The main aims of the Level 1 safeguarding course are: 

• To understand what Safeguarding means
• To be able to identify and recognise safeguarding concerns 
• To know how to report a Safeguarding concern
• To know how to properly safeguard children and young people

The Level 1 course is approximately 1 hour in length and can be paused, saved, and returned to at any time.

There are short assessments at the end of each chapter as well as an end of course assessment that participants must pass to gain a certificate of completion.

The course is updated each year in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance that is updated annually.

Level 2 Safeguarding

Our CPD accredited Level 2 safeguarding course was designed for those wanting to gain a more in-depth understanding of safeguarding and for who require a more in-depth understanding for their role.

This is a premium level, comprehensive training course. 

The aims of our Level 2 course are:

• To understand key concepts, legislation, guidance and best practices related to safeguarding children
• To understand the importance of Safeguarding. 
• To be able to identify and recognise different forms of abuse 
• To know how to identify and respond to child protection concerns effectively.
• To be able to recognise children at risk
• To know how to respond to and report concerns appropriately

This course is 3 hours in length, and like the Level 1 course it can be paused, saved, and returned to at any time.

There are short assessments throughout and a final assessment that participants must pass to gain a certificate of completion.

Like the Level 1 course, this course will be updated each year in line with the KCSIE guidance. 
It's important to note, both Prospero Learning Safeguarding courses contain the necessary information for keeping children safe. As such, there may be some content that you find distressing or upsetting. If you need support with the issues raised, ensure that you talk to a trusted friend, family member or colleague. There are also several helplines that you can call to receive support for the issues raised in the courses.
