About this event

This training is aimed at the Designated Safeguarding Lead in early years and childcare settings. It is also suitable for owners and managers and the deputy DSL. This is a refresher and is therefore aimed at those who have previously completed either the full ‘Safeguarding in Early Years for the DSL’ course or ‘Targeted 2’.


The DSL is expected to refresh training at this level at least every 2 years and content is reviewed periodically to reflect new legislation, guidance, practices and research.

Content includes refreshing knowledge in some areas, for example signs and symptoms, and includes new policies and procedures and some additional content which will enable knowledgeable practitioners to explore
some of the issues in more detail.

Handouts will be provided at the training

A 1 hour Introductory course to support practitioners with writing individual support plans (ISP) for children with SEND within Early Years settings.

Both the EYFS and the SEND Code of Practice outline the settings legal requirements for offering ‘additional and/or different’ in order to make adequate progress for our children in the early years. This introductory course will run the use of individual support plans (ISP) instead of individual provision maps (IPM) for children with SEND within Early Years settings

Cost: £12 plus VAT (£14 including VAT)

About this event

The Government’s Prevent Strategy talks about British Values and asks all educational establishments, including early years to be teaching these values, but what does this mean for early years practitioners, and what are Ofsted looking for?

This session aims to give practitioners an understanding of the Prevent Strategy and the requirement to teach ‘British Values’. We will consider the ways in which these values reflect those already embedded in early years and identify current examples of good practice. We will also explore ways to further develop the teaching of values in order to better support the Prevent Strategy, meet the requirements of Ofsted and achieve better outcomes for children


Standard Cost £32.00 (£26.40 incl VAT)
