Changes to our Face-to-Face Safeguarding Training

Published 12 February 2026.

The City of York Safeguarding Children’s Partnership aims to provide a range of courses to support those working with children and young people in York. We value your feedback and have used it to shape our training offer.

In September 2025, we launched the new City of York Safeguarding Children Partnership Awareness E-learning module, building on and improving the content from the previous version. As this updated module is pitched at a higher level, we are currently reviewing our face-to-face training offer (previously known as Safeguarding A and B) to ensure it is appropriate for Designated Safeguarding Leads and Deputy Safeguarding Leads within agencies.

As part of this review, we will pause the face-to-face training from April 2026 while we develop a new course. This will be re-launched in September 2026.

In the meantime, we encourage you to complete the e-learning module if you have not already done so. We will also be in touch with further information about how we will support you during this transition period.

The e-learning module is available here.
