This comprehensive CPD-accredited Safeguarding Children Level 3 Course equips you with the advanced knowledge, intervention frameworks and reporting procedures required to protect children at risk of harm. With child protection enquiries rising by over 180% in the UK in the last decade, trained safeguarding professionals are urgently needed across schools, health services, nurseries, youth work and support settings.

Through structured safeguarding training, you’ll explore child protection legislation, thresholds for intervention, multi-agency reporting, emotional and sexual abuse recognition, exploitation prevention and post-referral procedures. You will learn how to identify early warning signs, respond appropriately, escalate concerns correctly and record information with precision — crucial skills for anyone in a child-facing role.

This Safeguarding Level 3 course strengthens your confidence in responding to disclosures, managing risk, preventing child sexual exploitation (CSE), and working alongside social services, LADO and multi-agency bodies. Developed in line with UK statutory guidance, including Working Together to Safeguard Children, this course prepares you to play an active role in protecting vulnerable children and young people.
