The course that your La approves. Whether it be online or a six hour one :thumbsup:Quote:

I believe it is only mandatory to do your first aid every 3 years.
You need to check with your local authority.
It's not an Ofsted requirement for you to retake it every 3 years, but it might be a requirement of your local authority. Your LA might accept an online course, or might say it has to be done in person.
All LAs are different, so check to see what yours says.
Thanks guys, that's a joke trying to get old of out DO :/
All LAs vary in their request for safeguarding...all cms need to be trained regularly but there is no prescriptive Level 1 or 2 or even 3
Check the EYFS and then ask Ofsted if unsure
Any Safeguarding must include the LAs own guidelines from the LSCB because each one is different
