This RIDDOR training for nurseries explains exactly what the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 require of your setting, and how to meet those requirements with confidence. RIDDOR places legal duties on employers, the self-employed and people in control of work premises — the “Responsible Person” — to report certain serious workplace accidents, occupational diseases and specified dangerous occurrences (near misses) to the Health and Safety Executive.
For a nursery or early years setting, that means someone on your team needs to know which incidents are notifiable, who is responsible for reporting them, and how a report should actually be made. This course turns a dense set of regulations into practical, workable knowledge, helping you stay compliant and keep accurate records.

Who this course is for
This course is designed for nursery managers, owners and anyone with health and safety responsibilities in a childcare or early years setting — in other words, anyone who could be the “Responsible Person” when an incident occurs on your premises.
Why this training matters
RIDDOR is not optional: the 2013 regulations put legal obligations on all employers, including childcare providers, and failing to report a notifiable incident carries real consequences. Making sure the right people in your setting understand what must be reported, how and by when protects your team, your children and your business — and your completion certificate gives you recognised evidence for compliance and Ofsted audit.
How the course works
The course is delivered fully online with media-rich content and voiceovers throughout, so your managers can work through it at their own pace, on any device. It takes around one hour to complete.
Your certificate
Successful candidates are awarded the National Nursery Training RIDDOR Course Completion Certificate, which can be used as evidence for compliance and audit and counts towards continuing professional development (CPD). National Nursery Training is an NFAQ-accredited provider and an accredited CPD Training Provider (#776846) with the CPD Accreditation Group.
