Safeguarding Adults Training
Level One – Basic Awareness
To compliment the face to face learning that is already available we have created further learning opportunities so you can choose a method of training that suits your specific learning style.
· E-Learning
Available by visiting our website
The course will take approximately 2 hours to complete and you will be given your own password enabling you to log on/off as required. There will be interactive learning, questions and activities for you to work through, finishing with an assessment which will be question based. Upon successful completion a certificate will be generated for you to print off.
· Work book
Our work book option allows staff to complete Level 1 Training at their own pace with support from a line manager. It is divided into sections and contains clear information and activities. At the end of the book there are a series of assessment questions.
For further information please contact: James Steward, Learning & Development Officer. Tel: 0191 278 8192 Email James Steward
· In-house
Organisations can provide in-house training at level one (Basic Awareness). The training must follow the NSAB Learning and Development Competency Framework. If you currently deliver level one training in-house you can send us a copy of your training and we will help you to ensure that it meets the requirements of the competency framework. We will provide written confirmation that your training programme has been reviewed and is in line with the competency standards required by the Newcastle Adults Safeguarding Board.
If you have a large number of staff or volunteers who require Level 1 training a member of our Learning and Development team might be able to come to your workplace to deliver a session.
