Every ELT organisation with students under the age of 18 has a legal ‘duty of care’ to safeguard those students. Everyone working with the organisation needs to understand safeguarding and their ‘duty of care’ responsibilities. The training starts here with this specially designed course.

There are many UK laws connected to safeguarding; the main ones are covered in the training. Knowing what is acceptable in law for children and for adults is essential, especially because ELT has international students and group leaders who may not be familiar with UK.

Safeguarding is one of the most important things we do for children; it has to be done properly.

Every adult who works with an ELT organisation taking students under the age of 18, for example; all staff, homestays, group leaders and agents. Anyone who needs to understand safeguarding and what it means for ELT organisations.

This course is designed for those who work in ELT organisations; however, the same safeguarding principles apply to anybody who works with children and/or their families.

By completing this course you will have core safeguarding information. On completion, you will receive a dated, online certificate issued jointly by Gallery Teachers and English UK demonstrating your Basic Awareness Safeguarding for ELT, including ‘Prevent’.

This course is suitable for those who require a basic level of safeguarding understanding (formerly level 1). Information for advanced level courses can be found on English UK’s website

The UK authorities recommend the basic safeguarding training to be refreshed once a year, this is why we make revisions to the course every year to reflect the latest development in safeguarding.
