Tailor‑made child safety training for your early years workforce
Creating safe, nurturing environments for young children starts with confident, well‑informed practitioners. Our live online training helps your staff make every contact with parents count – offering clear, consistent and evidence‑based advice that reduces the risk of child accidents in your local area.
We shape each course around your priorities. By drawing on local data and reflecting local circumstances, we help teams work together, strengthen partnerships and support a genuinely place‑based approach to child safety.
All sessions are fully interactive, with opportunities for discussion, small‑group activities and shared learning. It’s a flexible and cost‑effective way to build skills across your workforce – delivered at a time and place that works for you.
“This training has increased my confidence to have meaningful conversations with parents and carers about home safety, backed by clear evidence and local data.”
Turning knowledge into everyday practice
“I feel better equipped to identify risks early, challenge unsafe environments appropriately, and use practical tools such as checklists and resources to support families to make simple, realistic changes that reduce the risk of preventable injuries.”
Our training gives practitioners not just information, but the confidence and practical strategies to have meaningful conversations with families. We explore:
- how accidents link to child development,
- factors that make families more vulnerable to accidents
- the most up-to-date safety information and advice, and
- simple ways to weave safety advice naturally into routine contacts
What we offer
- 2.5‑hour live virtual training for up to 25 participants: £850
While the main focus is home safety for under‑fives, we can also include road safety and safety for older children where needed.
If you’re looking for something more comprehensive, we can work with you to develop a bespoke training programme tailored for rollout across your local area.
And while delegates praise the interactive nature of our virtual courses, we’re happy to explore face-to-face-training too.
