Trainees need Level 3 training in both child and adult safeguarding at CCT. It is best practice to complete both level 3 certificates in ST1

It is an annual requirement for a knowledge update and reflections on adult and child safeguarding.
Certificates need to be in date at CCT and beyond.

Trainees then need a knowledge update annually and this needs to include a demonstration of their knowledge, key safeguarding information and the appropriate action to take if there are any concerns. In addition, all trainees require a minimum of one participatory piece of learning and reflection for both adult and child safeguarding in each training year*. Evidence of learning for both the knowledge component and reflective exercises need to be documented in the trainees learning log.

*It is recognised that if the trainee does not have any posts within a specific training year which include children then although it would be still recommended for these trainees to understand and document their learning about child safeguarding this would not be mandatory.
 

If in any post the supervisor has concerns about the trainee they will need close supervision and support when dealing with cases that may have safeguarding implications.
