Safeguarding training

• Safeguarding training guide for early years and childcare practitioners (updated Sept 2026)

You will find a range of safeguarding training including: Safeguarding and Child Protection Core (all early years and childcare practitioners) eLearning and the Multi-Agency Safeguarding and Child Protection (group 3 core)  (this is for those with safeguarding responsibilities such as the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL). We recommend that childminders undertake the Muti-Agency group 3 safeguarding training.

You can find early years safeguarding training on the Devon Education Services Shop.

You can create your own shop account if you haven’t already got one, please see our guidance on how to create a shop account and how to search for training on the shop: Training website (Shop) – Information for childcare providers

(Please note that some of the safeguarding training on the Shop is not early years specific and there may be a charge. Please ensure that you book onto an early years and childcare funded course, as above).
