Level 1 Basic Safeguarding Training

Before you can commence working with children and/or vulnerable adults you have completed the Level 1 Basic Safeguarding Training, in addition to having completed your Garda Vetting.

To do this you will need to:

You can do this Level 1 Basic Safeguarding Training at any time. You do not have to wait until your Vetting application has been submitted.

You may also have completed this Children First E-Learning Programme by request of another organisation. If you have, you do not have to do the E-Learning programme again, so long as your Certificate is dated within the last 3 years. You will need to send us a copy of your Certificate.

Your Level 1 Basic Safeguarding Training will expire 3 years after the date on your E-Learning certificate. At that point, you will be requested to complete the training again.
