A Safe Space Training
There are four levels of training. All volunteers need to undertake A Safe Space training related to their role. For example, if your role requires up to level 3 then you will need to complete levels 1, 2 and 3. For more details click here
Not only will you find here a list of requirements needed for your role, you will also be able to see what you need to do to log on to the new Learning Platform to complete the courses online.
Please take a screen shot when you have completed the course as sometimes they don’t record properly on GO and then we can get it added manually.
