Hi,
I am in Nottinghamshire, and my Safeguarding was part of the Childminding course, which was free.

Safeguarding can be free within some local authorities. I asked ofsted and they said I had to follow my local council rules on safeguarding and use who they say.

every county should have a local safeguarding board - if you out this into a search engine followed by your county you should get something up. also try your local early years team for their training guide.
