SAFEGUARDING FOR PROFESSIONALS | courses for individuals | EARLY YEARS
This workshop supports Early Years managers and leaders to strengthen safeguarding practice, improve staff professionalism, and ensure compliance with the Early Years Foundation Stage 2026. Through a combination of guidance, real‑world case studies, and structured action planning, leaders will gain the confidence and clarity needed to implement robust systems that protect children and safeguard staff.
The session will focus on:
The session uses Early Years specific case studies - such as boundary issues during intimate care, inappropriate familiarity, parental concerns, patterns of low‑level issues, and safe practice during supervision - to help leaders sharpen decision-making, recognise safeguarding indicators, assess risk, and respond consistently.
The consultancy ends with a focused action‑planning session that identifies strengths and gaps, prioritises improvements, and sets clear timelines, helping leaders strengthen accountability, improve recording and escalation, and embed a culture of professional responsibility.

What level training is this course?
Since the implementation of Safeguarding Partnerships, most sectors have moved away from using the term ‘levels’. The expectation is that you will undertake training which is relevant to the role you take in the organisation.
For example: Professional Curiosity workshop – would be completed by every member of a staff community that works in an early years setting.
Professional Curiosity workshop would have previously been known as level 1 – basic child protection training.
How far in advance can I book the training?
You can book your training as far in advance as you like! Some times of the year are especially busy so we advise you book up to a year or more in advance, especially if there is a specific date and time you would like to secure. If you know your training will be up for renewal, the sooner you get the training date confirmed the more likely ECP will have availability to deliver your training.
How many people can attend the training?
Our face-to-face training numbers vary from course to course, and also take into consideration the size of the space we will be delivering the training in. The size of groups can vary.
Our virtual delivery of Professional Curiosity workshop has no minimum number of attendees, maximum number of attendees depends on the size of your setting.
