    Default On line safeguarding course

    Check with your local authority, tge revised eyfs states that safeguarding courses must be local authority approved.
    I also think the nspcc one was good but my local authority do not recognise it now.

    Does your county council have an online CPD? Devon has a page where you can sign up for all the courses available and it has online courses too. I've just done my safeguarding online through them.

    We have one available through the Local Authority but it may also be worth seeing if you have a local safeguarding board as they may offer an online course too.

    As Blue Bear says the next course you attend must be LA approved so check with them before spending your money
