The safeguarding courses support participants in developing and maintaining the necessary values, beliefs, knowledge, and skills to safeguard and protect children, young people, and vulnerable adults.
E-Learning (online) Courses
The CofE safeguarding e-Learning courses are available via The CofE National Safeguarding Team’s online Learning Portal (website https://safeguardingtraining.cofeportal.org/).
We, the Chelmsford DST, do not provide individuals/parishes with log-in details, but we have made a step-by-step guide on how to create yourself an account for the CofE National Safeguarding Team’s online Learning Portal (website):
These 4 x CofE safeguarding e-Learning (online independent self-guided) courses:
- Basic Awareness (previously C0)
- Foundation (previously C1)
- Safer Recruitment and People Management (previously S1 Safer Recruitment)
- Raising Awareness of Domestic Abuse (previously S3 Responding to Domestic Abuse)
are not virtual courses (e.g. Zoom) so you do not need to book a ticket and you do not need a device with a camera or microphone. You can simply log-on whenever it’s convenient for you, read and/or listen to the slides and then select the answers to multiple choice questions.
The Chelmsford DST's Leadership (previously C2) course IS also now available via the CofE National Safeguarding Team’s online Learning Portal (website) too. For information please visit our Leadership Safeguarding Training webpage.
