SAFER GUIDING TRAINING
​
​Existing volunteers​
If you’re an existing volunteer who has previously completed a safe space training, you only need to do the new course when your highest level of a safe space expires. So if you have a safe space levels 1 and 2, you’ll only need to do safer guiding once your level 2 expires. The course now includes level 3 and is a 3 hour e-learning course which can be completed all in one go or pop in and out and complete it in smaller chunks.
​
You can do safer guiding any time but must be completed before your expiry date. It needs to be renewed every 3 years.
​
New volunteers
New volunteers have 40 days to complete the training once assigned a role.
​​
Level 4
This is for anyone taking on a commissioner role. It’s also for trainers delivering a safe space level 4, safeguarding leads and a safe space advisers. You’ll only need to do this training once and there's no renewal.
​​
