Everyone employed by the organisation, or who has links to the organisation and has regular contact with learners, needs safeguarding training and development. This helps to create a culture of vigilance and shared responsibility throughout the whole organisation.

However, not everyone's training needs will be the same, and the type of training and development will vary.

• Awareness training is vital for all staff, including those not involved in teaching (admin, security, catering etc.) or not employed directly by the organisation (e.g. agency staff).
• Safer recruitment training is more specialist, and is needed by anyone involved in the recruitment process.
• Regular specialist training is necessary for Designated Persons.

All staff should have their training updated regularly.
