safeguarding course

[trace]

does anyone know if the safeguarding course (and others by uk virtual college) are ok for childminders in wales too.. do they cover our NMS and are CSSIW ok with them.. thanks (did post in the online courses section but thought it may be better here)

Carmarthenshire sent out an online one for childminders in our area which a friend did. I think it would be best to check with your CSSIW office or childrens partnership to see what they say.

I have booked onto a free one with ceredigion but it is 2 evenings.

The main problem with doing an online course is whether it refers to the All Wales Child Protection Procedures 2008 which is what we in Wales have to adhere to.
