Safeguarding Training Cardiff

The basic safeguarding awareness training is an introductory course designed for anyone who works or has contact with children, young people or adults at-risk. It covers the fundamentals of recognising abuse, understanding safeguarding responsibilities and knowing how to respond appropriately to concerns.

The Level 3 safeguarding training course is more advanced and intended for those in designated safeguarding roles, such as Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs). This training goes into greater depth on topics such as multi-agency working, managing referrals, information sharing and taking a lead role in safeguarding within your organisation.

Safeguarding in Wales is governed by its own legal framework, which includes the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 and the Wales Safeguarding Procedures.  

Safeguarding responsibilities are overseen by Regional Safeguarding Boards in South Wales, these include the Cardiff and Vale, Cwm Taf Morgannwg and West Glamorgan Regional Safeguarding Boards.

These boards bring together local authorities, health boards, police forces and other key partners to coordinate safeguarding efforts, ensuring that policies are implemented effectively and tailored to the needs of the local population.
