Safeguarding Course in Relevant for Adult Teachers
It is important that not only children or under-18s teachers are trained, but also potential teachers of adults or University students. I found out that the safegurarding training will be very helpful to teachers at such level as well.
Every adult who works with an ELT organisation with students under the age of 18 must understand safeguarding, including those who are involved in teaching online.
You can complete this course using any smart computing device anywhere in the world.
After completing this course you will receive a digital certificate issued jointly by Gallery Teachers and English UK demonstrating your knowledge and awareness of safeguarding for ELT.
The UK authorities recommend the basic safeguarding training be refreshed once a year, this is why we make revisions to the course every year to reflect the latest development in safeguarding.
