Everyone working in an early years setting shares responsibility for keeping children safe. This Level 2 Safeguarding course gives childcare practitioners the knowledge and confidence to recognise concerns about a child’s welfare and respond in a timely, appropriate way — meeting the statutory safeguarding requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
