Did you know that NYSAB, through North Yorkshire Council (NYC), offer a free train the trainer course allowing you to deliver Safeguarding Adults Raising a Concern training within your own organisation?
The course is designed for organisations that have 50 or more staff who need to undertake Level 1 Raising a Concern training, or organisations who support a large number of volunteers. This approach aims to improve accessibility, especially for groups who struggle to attend classroom-based training via NYC. These organisations can nominate a Safeguarding Champion trainer to deliver this training in their own organisations, helping the board to further build confidence and capacity in Safeguarding awareness.
All delegates attending Raising a Concern Champions must have previously undertaken Safeguarding Adults Raising a Concern Level 1 (booked on the NYC Learning Zone here: Learning Zone). You will receive a Champions contract and other materials when you attend the course.
What Does the Course Cover?
The programme revisits the Raising a Concern core content, offering an opportunity for Champions to refresh their knowledge before exploring the material in greater depth. The aim is to ensure every Champion feels confident and skilled in delivering safeguarding sessions to colleagues or volunteers.
Champions will also learn how to access the full training package, evaluate learning outcomes, and maintain proper records of who has been trained. This includes reporting training figures back to the Safeguarding Adults Board, helping build a clearer picture of safeguarding awareness across the region.
By the end of the course you will understand how to deliver the safeguarding adults raising a concern course materials and how to test out and evaluate the learning you have delivered. You will also know how to keep records of who you have trained including how to provide information on the numbers of people you have delivered the training to.
