Description
Understanding safeguarding responsibilities is critical for anyone working with children in schools, care settings, or community roles. The Safeguarding Children Level 2 course from High Skills Training helps learners develop the knowledge and confidence to identify, report, and respond to safeguarding concerns. This training aligns with KCSIE (Keeping Children Safe in Education), Working Together to Safeguard Children, and CQC Regulation 13, ensuring compliance and audit readiness.
It is not intended for those in a DSL/lead role, who should enrol in the Level 3 safeguarding course for advanced responsibilities.
This course is ideal for teaching assistants, nursery and early years practitioners, childcare workers, youth workers, sports coaches, GP reception staff, healthcare assistants, care workers supporting children or families, and volunteers with regular child contact.
You’ll learn to recognise the signs of different types of abuse and neglect, understand key thresholds like child in need and significant harm, and know exactly what to do the moment a concern arises, who to tell, how to record it, and what happens next.
This online course also covers the referral process in detail, giving you a clear picture of how other agencies get involved once a concern is raised, and how your role fits into that wider safeguarding response. By the end of the training, learners will be ready to support children safely, comply with statutory guidance, and contribute to a secure and protective environment across schools, early years settings, care facilities, and community services.
Upon completion, learners receive access to additional resources, checklists, and a retakeable quiz to consolidate understanding. Completion grants a FREE Digital CPD certificate, which provides a verifiable audit trail for compliance with Ofsted and CQC inspections.
With a 24/7 learner support access model and a 14-day money-back guarantee, this course is a risk-free investment for you. Enrol now in this Safeguarding Children Level 2 online training course from High Skills Training and gain the confidence, knowledge, and skills to recognise, respond to, and report safeguarding concerns effectively.
