While the mandatory requirement set by the National Safeguarding Team is to refresh only the highest level of training every three years ( Leadership) it is considered best practice to renew all training at every level within the same timeframe.
This means that even if you have completed Leadership level training, it is advisable to refresh not just Leadership but also Basic and Foundations training.
In the Diocese of Sheffield, we strive to follow best practices to ensure the highest standards of safeguarding. This is why we expect everyone to refresh their training at all levels every three years. This approach helps maintain a consistent and up to date understanding of safeguarding principles and practices across our Diocese.
