Very informative. I feel a lot more confident in my knowledge of safer recruitment since completing the training and it has been a refresher in overall safeguarding. The facilitators were excellent.

The day was really informative and thought provoking. It clarified up to date requirements in relation to safer recruitment and also gave several examples of good practice. The materials provided were also very helpful. The delivery was paced well to allow time for thought and reflection.
Headteacher, St Augustine’s Catholic Primary

Clear training around a very difficult issue. I am feeling more confident in my chair role that I can offer strategic oversight of safer recruitment and safeguarding.
