What level of knowledge / competence should staff have in connection with safeguarding?
To help organisations understand the level of knowledge and skills that their staff should have, the ESCB has developed a set of Practice Standards. These are based on Government guidance and can also be used as a performance management tool for organisations assessing the competence of their staff. You can access the Practice Standards here.
Level 1 Training
Level 1 is basic awareness training for those in regular contact with children and young people and/or with adults who are parents and carers. Individual agencies normally provide this training for their staff on a single agency basis however the ESCB is able to support this through on line learning and workbooks. The on line learning is also particularly suitable for those who are not able to access basic awareness training through their organisations, such as sports coaches, scout and guide leaders, youth club leaders, religious leaders and voluntary organisations. Access further information about on line training and an application form.
Level 2 Training
Level 2 Foundation Training is for those who work regularly with children and young people and/or with adults who are parents/carers, including practitioners contributing to assessments of children in need. The ESCB provides free multi-agency training at this level.
Training is organised by locality and you should attend a course in the area in which you work. To apply please use the Foundation Application Form. If you would like further information please contact Vanessa Rooke in the ESCB office.
