Renewal of training
Safeguarding training needs to be renewed every four years.

Employment safeguarding training
Irrespective of any safeguarding training you may have received through your employment, the advice would still be to attend the BUGB Excellence in Safeguarding level 2 and 3 training (as appropriate) every four years.
There will inevitably be some crossover of information between employment and church safeguarding training. However, the BUGB Excellence in Safeguarding level 2 and 3 training is specific to safeguarding in a Baptist church context and so will cover topics not mentioned in the training that employers provide.
