Safeguarding for Children
It’s important to understand at this stage that the phrase ‘safeguarding for children’ can mean two things. In cases where mandatory and statutory training is differentiated, mandatory training is of the type that an employer believes is essential to carrying out the role safely and effectively, but it isn’t necessarily legally required or a matter of compliance. Statutory training on the other hand would be training that must legally be completed, so that the organization is meeting their obligations when it comes to governing bodies such as the CQC, or laws such as the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (HSWA).
However, in the care industry, it’s very common for the term 'safeguarding for children’ to refer to any kind of training that an employee must undergo, whether it is training deemed essential by the employer for the purposes of effectively carrying out the role, or it’s training that must legally be completed. If you’re ever unsure about which definition is being used, check with the employer, authority or training provider. However, confusion between the two terms is usually unimportant, as in all scenarios it means training that has to be taken.
Entry Requirement
Safeguarding for Children is of course critically important to delivering a safe service and being mindful of wider issues of social care. As a result, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) mandates that employees must take the relevant training.

Training Requirements
Large organization's, such as the NHS, will have their own internal training teams that are equipped to ensure that all members of staff are fully skilled and knowledgeable, and are up-to-date in matters of compliance. However, it’s convenient for many organization's to use outside training providers to meet their needs. In social- and healthcare e-learning is popular, and we’re pleased to be able to offer a number of online healthcare courses that make it simple to ensure employees have the right training.
