I manage a charity for vulnerable adults and provide safeguarding training for staff. Is Level 3 a suitable place to start? Do I have to complete Safeguarding Adults Level 1 and Level 2 courses first?

Safeguarding vulnerable adults at risk training courses range from Level 1 (awareness courses), Level 2 (intermediate courses) and Level 3 (advanced courses).

Safeguarding adults courses range from Level 1 up to Level 5. Each of the safeguarding courses has different learning outcomes, ranging from basic awareness for junior staff to advanced courses for those in senior positions.

We highly recommend that all learners must complete the pre-requisites (for example, Safeguarding Adults Levels 1 and 2) before they complete the Safeguarding Adults Levels 3 course.
