Overview
Core Safeguarding learning pathways (basic awareness, foundation, leadership and senior leadership) have been developed as a modular programme which builds learning according to role. Therefore, these pathways should be completed in consecutive order until an individual has reached the required highest level of learning for their role. E.G Basic Awareness, followed by Foundation, followed by Leadership.
Additional learning pathways have been developed to further enhance safeguarding knowledge in specific practice areas, or for specific roles.
As previously, refresher training should be completed at a three-yearly interval. Refresher learning should be undertaken at the highest required level for core pathways (basic, foundation, leadership and senior leadership). Additional pathways should also be refreshed on a three-yearly cycle.
Here is a visual overview of how the different pathways work together and how they will be delivered
Please see table below for a guide of what training is required –
