Renewal of trainingSafeguarding training needs to be renewed every four years. |
Employment safeguarding trainingIrrespective 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. |
