Safeguarding training is not a single law in itself, but it is a legal responsibility for organisations that work with children or vulnerable adults. Employers must ensure staff are trained to recognise and report safeguarding concerns. Safeguarding training is often required by organisations such as CQC, Ofsted, local authorities, NHS organisations, and safeguarding boards.
Level 1 is for staff who have general contact with children or vulnerable adults but are not responsible for safeguarding decisions. Level 2 is for staff who work regularly with children or vulnerable adults and may need to report safeguarding concerns. Level 3 is for managers, supervisors, team leaders, and safeguarding leads who are responsible for safeguarding decisions and referrals. If you are unsure which level you need, The BTR Hub can help you choose.
