Equestrian Safeguarding Officers Online Training
The Equestrian Safeguarding Officers Online Training has been developed in association with British Equestrian for Safeguarding Officers who have specific safeguarding responsibilities within their equestrian yard, club, or organisation.
To stay up-to-date and meet British Equestrian's safeguarding requirements, if you are a Safeguarding Officer, you can alternate between live tutor-led and self-led courses. This approach ensures you complete face-to-face training with a qualified tutor at least once every six years.
This online training course covers how to carry out child and adult safeguarding, including topics such as the role of the Equestrian Safeguarding Officer, creating a safer culture in equestrianism, responding to safeguarding concerns and supporting case management.

Key Features

Advanced Safeguarding - Safeguarding Officers Course Content
This module provides an overview of child and adult safeguarding, along with the relevant guidance that informs policy and practice. It also outlines the role of the Equestrian Safeguarding Officer within an equestrian setting.
In this module, you will explore the skills needed to fulfil the role of an Equestrian Safeguarding Officer (ESO) effectively within the equestrian environment. You will also learn about the proactive and reactive activities involved, including how to help create a strong safeguarding culture in your equestrian setting/venue.
The module will also outline the support available to you as an ESO by signposting relevant key organisations.
In this module, you will learn how to create a safe culture for safeguarding children and adults at risk and how to take a holistic approach to developing a 'listening culture'.
You will also explore in greater depth the potential barriers that may prevent someone experiencing abuse from disclosing it and learn how to respond appropriately to help reduce these barriers.
In this module, you will learn how to report disclosures from individuals.
You will then look at the rules in equestrianism that explain what behaviours are not allowed, as well as how to recognise and respond to less serious concerns that might still be important to report.
You will also have an understanding of what to do if the perpetrator is another child.
In this module, you will learn the step-by-step process to follow if you have concerns about an individual.
You will also gain an understanding of who you can turn to for support, and receive tips on how to take care of yourself.
In this module, you will be introduced to a number of fictional equestrian case studies that will ask you to reflect on your role as a safeguarding lead in an equestrian setting and consider the actions you would take when presented with safeguarding concerns.
