Online learning is an efficient resource that offers flexibility, efficiency and personalised learning.

Whilst the LSAB advocates face to face training, it recognises that this is not always possible.

In order to support our partners, the LSAB offers high quality, relevant and up-to-date online learning safeguarding courses which are designed to ensure that all staff have access to initial training that will enable them to understand and recognise potential signs of abuse or neglect.

This resource is particularly useful for inducting new staff into an organisation or department. It should be used from the first day and form part of an employee’s induction process and ongoing development.
