ECB On-line Safeguarding Courses – update November 2024

Following feedback from the network and an internal review, the Safeguarding Team took the decision back in August to update and revamp the current Safeguarding for Specialist Roles (SSR) course and bolt on modules.  

After discussions with providers and production companies, we are pleased to say there is a new course being created with a working date of January 2025.  

The new suite of safeguarding courses will be as follows: 

Safeguarding Level 1 – SGL1 (previously ECB Safeguarding Induction) 

A 30-minute online training module provided for anyone, completed when required. 

Safeguarding Level 2 – SGL2 (previously SSR + relevant bolt on) 

A 1-hour interactive online course with an assessment for everyone in a specialist role. (See table below) Please note, this has moved to one course, and “bolts on” have been removed 

Safeguarding Level 3 – SGL3 

A 3-hour face to face workshop led by an ECB trained tutor: 

1. ECB Safe Hands Workshop (Recreational Game) 
2. Safeguarding in the Talent Pathway (Performance Pathway / Professional Game) 

We understand this change has a number of interdependent components that we need to ensure are all aligned.  

At this stage there is no action for you to take but we wanted to share news of the change with you in advance.
