I am a Professional…

If you’ve landed on this page, I’ll assume you’re a professional who either needs Children’s Safeguarding Training or manages staff who do. Anyone who works or volunteers with children and young people should have the right knowledge and skills to help keep them safe, and organisations have a clear duty of care to anyone under 18.

Safeguarding and child protection requirements are set out in statutory guidance, and legal duties vary depending on your sector. I know safeguarding training often gets a bad reputation… Think dull e-learning or wordy PowerPoints. This training is not that. It’s engaging, practical, and designed to leave you feeling confident about safeguarding children.

Our training can be delivered via MS Teams, though face-to-face is always our favourite. If you don’t see what you need on the website, get in touch and we can explore developing something bespoke.

Some courses are CPD-certified (clearly marked), meaning they’ve been reviewed for quality and are recognised by professional bodies. Non-CPD courses still come with a certificate of attendance for your CV or portfolio.

Please note, it’s your responsibility to ensure you or your staff complete the correct level of training. Requirements vary by role, sector, and employer, so we recommend checking your organisation’s own policies and guidance.

I am a Parent/Guardian or Caregiver…

It is really important to me that I can provide appropriate, factual and engaging Children’s Safeguarding Training to whoever needs or wants it.

Whilst our services are aimed at professionals/businesses, we also have training packages that are designed for parents, guardians or any other adult really! I am aware that even as a parent or guardian some of you may have safeguarding experience, be that through work or your personal lives, but also that some of you may never have even heard of the term – whichever one it is, we can ensure the training is appropriate for you.

Whilst we welcome parents and guardians, we can absolutely provide training for anyone else who may wish to participate, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles – you name them. Our aim is to raise awareness of safeguarding and support you to understand how to recognise, respond and refer to safeguarding concerns if you have any. You can have a certificate of attendance and some of our training is CPD certified!

I am a Child/Young Person…

Hello! Firstly, welcome to Little Marvels! If you require any immediate safeguarding help, please call 999 and ask for the police. Please be aware that I cannot provide you with any individual support or help to concerns you may have – please speak to a trusted adult or contact Childline on 0800 1111 (they have an online chat service). If you disclose any safeguarding concerns to me, I will have to inform the appropriate professionals.

Secondly: Safeguarding Children/Young People includes anyone from when a lady is pregnant with a baby up until they turn 18. If you are under the age of 18, you are legally required to be safeguarded. Sometimes, this may be that you yourself need safeguarding or perhaps you are worried about someone else. It may even be that you just want to learn a little more about what safeguarding means and what it is, and that’s absolutely fine too! Please do send me an email if you would like to ask me any more questions. The training we can provide to you is an “Introduction to safeguarding” and training about Exploitation – to put this simply, exploitation is when someone is forced to do things that they don’t want to do for gifts/money or through fear. Sometimes you may not know you are being exploited and that is where my training can help you gain that understanding – take a look at the exploitation training link which will provide more information. If there is any other training you would like to attend please email me and we can discuss this.

Please note: if you are under the age of 16 I need your parents permission to attend any training.
