Where do you deliver this training?

We can deliver this training at your premises, as long as it's within the UK. Also, we have our own venues in Stoke on Trent, London, Swindon, Epsom & York if you need access to a training room (additional charges will apply). We can also deliver this training virtually using Zoom. However, sessions delivered via Zoom will be theory only and will not include any practicals.

Will attending this training make me competent?

In short, no. No classroom-based training course can give you full competency - be very wary of anyone claiming they can. Our classroom-based assessments are designed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and workplace competency. We will be sure to provide you with the relevant workbooks and competency proformas to be observed and signed off within the workplace according to your local policy.

What equipment will you use for training?

We have a variety of different training equipment and tools available. The training will be relevant and transferable. However, if you have a specific requirement for a particular type of equipment, please make this clear during the booking process, and the team will ensure this is provided. Alternatively, we can use your own equipment for training.

Safeguarding Train the Trainer Update Course

Our Safeguarding Train the Trainer Update course is designed for individuals who have already qualified as safeguarding trainers (previously completed safeguarding Train the Trainer training) and need to renew and update their skills.

The course focuses on helping individuals deliver effective, engaging safeguarding sessions while ensuring your knowledge reflects the most recent legislation, guidance, and best practice.

Refresh your safeguarding knowledge and sharpen your training delivery with this one-day course. It helps existing trainers stay up to date with key changes, ensuring confident, compliant, and effective internal safeguarding sessions.

Our trainers will guide you on how to teach safeguarding to different learners using proven techniques.

For organisations that rely on in-house safeguarding training, it’s important for trainers to regularly take refresher courses. This helps make sure trainers are confident and can share up-to-date knowledge with the whole team.

It is perfect for:

Safeguarding trainers looking to refresh their knowledge and delivery techniques.

Importance of this Safeguarding Train the Trainer Refresher Course

The Safeguarding Train the Trainer Refresher Course is a vital part of any safeguarding strategy—supporting both individual trainers and the organisations they represent. Its value lies in the changing nature of safeguarding legislation, the need for consistent and effective training delivery, and the reality that knowledge fades over time.

For Individual Trainers

Stay up to date with legislation: Safeguarding laws and statutory guidance (such as Keeping Children Safe in Education) are regularly updated in response to new risks, including online exploitation and emerging forms of abuse. This course ensures trainers deliver accurate, legally compliant sessions.
Reinforce core knowledge: Refresher training helps prevent skill and knowledge loss, reinforcing key safeguarding concepts, signs of abuse, and reporting procedures.
Improve delivery techniques: Trainers refine their teaching methods, presentation skills, and ability to manage sensitive discussions, ensuring sessions are clear, engaging, and appropriate for adult learners.
Build confidence and credibility: Staying current and practicing delivery increases confidence. CPD certification provides formal recognition of competence and professional development.

For Organisations

Maintain legal compliance and inspection readiness: Trainers must be equipped with the latest frameworks to update staff policies and meet inspection standards. Recent certification demonstrates a strong safeguarding culture.
Promote a consistent and safe environment: Refreshed trainers deliver clear, consistent messages across departments, helping staff identify concerns early and respond appropriately.
Strengthen internal capacity: Investing in in-house trainers is cost-effective and allows for tailored content that reflects the organisation’s sector, challenges, and client groups.

Safeguarding Trainer Refresher FAQs

1. How often should safeguarding instructor training be refreshed?

Safeguarding instructor courses should be refreshed every two years to reflect evolving legislation, statutory guidance, and best practices.

Regular updates ensure trainers remain confident, compliant, and equipped to deliver accurate, effective safeguarding education.

Without refreshers, outdated knowledge can compromise training quality and organisational standards.

Staying current supports inspection readiness, reinforces core safeguarding principles, and helps maintain a safe, vigilant culture across care, education, and support environments.

2. Can I take this course if I’m new to safeguarding training?

This refresher course is intended for individuals who have already completed a Safeguarding Train the Trainer course and have practical experience with safeguarding principles and best practices. If you’re new to safeguarding or haven’t delivered training before, we recommend starting with an introductory Train the Trainer course to build foundational knowledge before progressing to this refresher.

3. Are there any prerequisites for this refresher course?

To attend this refresher course, you must have previously completed a Safeguarding Train the Trainer course. This course is intended to update and refresh your existing knowledge and skills. Also note that a main course requires you to have experience in Safeguarding and must have completed a level 2 training for both children and adults.

4. Is safeguarding training annual refresher mandatory?

While annual refresher training is not always a legal requirement, it is strongly recommended to keep safeguarding practices up-to-date and effective.

Many organisations, especially in healthcare and social care, ask for yearly safeguarding training to meet rules and keep staff skills sharp. Always check your organisation’s policies to know what is required.

5. What is the difference between DSL and Safeguarding Train the Trainer Update Course?

Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) training prepares individuals to take strategic responsibility for safeguarding within an organisation, including managing concerns and liaising with external agencies.

Safeguarding Instructor Training focuses on equipping trainers to deliver safeguarding education internally.

DSLs lead safeguarding practice; instructors lead safeguarding learning. Both roles are essential but serve distinct functions.

6. Can the Safeguarding Train the Trainer Update course be taken online?

Yes, this course is delivered virtually via live, instructor-led sessions. Participants join our scheduled Zoom classes led by experienced safeguarding trainers, with real-time interaction, discussion, and practical activities.

This format ensures trainers receive up-to-date safeguarding guidance while benefiting from peer engagement and direct support—without the need for travel or in-person attendance.

At Caring for Care, we’ve received thousands of positive reviews for our safeguarding courses.

7. Should I choose a virtual safeguarding trainer course or e-learning?

If you want real-time interaction and support, a virtual safeguarding trainer course is the better option. It offers live sessions with expert instructors, peer discussion, and practical activities.

E-learning is typically self-paced and less interactive, making it more suitable for basic awareness.

Our virtual sessions include a standard micro-teach, where each participant delivers a short training segment reviewed by peers and the instructor. You can ask questions that matter to you and learn from others in real time.

8. Can I book this course for in-house training?

Yes, we provide onsite Safeguarding Trainer courses and refreshers for organisations across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

Our onsite delivery allows teams to train together in a familiar setting, with tailored content that reflects your sector and policies.

It builds internal capacity, reduces travel costs, and strengthens safeguarding culture across departments.

9. How long does the Safeguarding Train the Trainer Refresher course take?

The Safeguarding Train the Trainer Refresher course typically lasts one full day. This includes live, instructor-led sessions covering updated legislation, training techniques, and safeguarding protocols.

The day also features interactive activities and a micro-teach segment, allowing participants to practice delivery and receive feedback. Duration may vary slightly depending on group size and delivery format.

10. Does the course include a course pack?

You will receive course materials as part of the training and a learner resource. However, this course does not include our trainer pack. You can purchase the comprehensive trainer pack separately at a discount of up to 49%. Please speak with our course advisors for more details.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank Caring for Care for the recent virtual safeguarding training provided to our team via Zoom. The course was held on two dates, 02.02.2021 and 09.02.2021, to ensure we could include the entire team. The course facilitator, Sarah, had a wealth of experience in Health and Social Care, which was clearly demonstrated throughout the session. The training was delivered at a comfortable pace, was very informative, and fully interactive - John Fields
