Content

Content provides managers and designated safeguarding leads, with CPD content to use themselves with their teams to build knowledge and develop competencies. The Safeguarding Hub considers that one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to learning as a team. Safeguarding and child protection quizzes, scenarios and case studies accommodate 3 levels of learning from new starters, experienced staff and those who have DSL responsibilities. There’s something for everyone!

The Safeguarding Hub is packed full of content and new material is added every three months. Content can be viewed and completed online or can be downloaded. Content includes:

  • Factsheets

  • Quizzes

  • CPD session plans – for use in team meetings or with individuals as part of induction and supervision

Testimonials

The Safeguarding Hub has given us a wealth of knowledge at our fingertips and we as a setting have found it invaluable. We have always booked Rachel for all of our safeguarding training over the last ten years, and like everything she does the standard and quality of the Hub is second to none. Her knowledge, experience and advice is at the forefront and to have resources like factsheets and quizzes at hand has saved us bundles of time. From the management team to our apprentices, the Hub is proving it’s worth and continues to refresh our safeguarding knowledge which is always our number one priority. Thank you, Rachel.

I have my first activity reviewing a case study ready for tonight’s staff meeting and I have found lots of things in the Safeguarding Hub useful.

Samantha Marshall, Manager, West Hallam Village Pre-School

I liked the fact sheets and found them to be very understandable especially for team members who may not have heard of the different acronyms that we use. They were downloaded and printed easily for future reference and for our own training.

The case studies and scenarios gave the staff a better idea of what really happens out there in Child protection.

Linda Adamson, Nursery Manager, Happitots Nurseries Boddam; Thrive Childcare and Education

I have known and worked with Rachel for several years now and always found her to be very professional and informative. She regularly keeps us updated with all safeguarding legislation and any changes through training and the DSL update sessions which are part of the Safeguarding Hub.

The compliance audit which is part of the Safeguarding Hub recently supported me such a lot in preparation for a recent inspection, reassuring me that my knowledge is both relevant and up to date.

We also use the Safeguarding Hub content for staff induction with new employees which compliments the information about our own procedures nicely.
