Assessments

There are two assessments featured in the resources.

The first is aimed at users who only have to have knowledge of safeguarding issues. This features questions based on Modules 1 and 2 of this resource.

The second is aimed at users who have to have knowledge of both safeguarding issues and issues of safer recruitment. This may include those staff who work in senior management or in HR.

You will only need to complete one of the assessments. Successful completion of an assessment will provide you with a printable certificate.

More information about the assessments is provided in the user guide and on the initial screen of each of the assessments.
