"E-learning was a totally new experience to me and to be honest I was a bit apprehensive as I do not see myself as very computer literate. However I found the course was very easy to follow and the format made learning a pleasure. It was great to be able to fit the course around my diary and I would recommend it to anyone."

"Andrea Embleton our 100,000th learner from Northumberland Tyne and Wear Health Trust"

"The online course has been hugely successful and in just 18 months we have trained over 2000 people which is far more than we could have reached with face-to-face training."

"Claire Seymour - Training Co-ordinator, South Tees Local Safeguarding Children Board"

"I am delighted with the Basic Awareness of Child Abuse and Refresher training material we now have access to through the Safeguarding Children e-Academy."

"Dave Herring - Head of East Riding Safeguarding Children Board"

"The online courses have released our specialist trainers so they can concentrate on front line professionals."

"Pauline Beall Business Manager, Stockton-on-Tees LSCB"

"To date we have trained over 2000 people, a feat that would have taken 4 years if we had relied on using previous method of face-to-face."

"Paul Hill - Manager of Bradford Safeguarding Children Board"

"We trained 11,000 staff last year for less than £1 each!"

"Robin Harper-Coulson, Children's Workforce Development Co-ordinater"

Exciting New Courses Coming Soon!

Collaborative development with the Virtual College Safeguarding e-Academy

There is e-learning and then there is Virtual College e-learning; you only have to compare our products to others on the market to see the difference. We're good because we and our members are passionate about being the best; not just for your organisation, but for our half a million learners...after all who wants to sit and stare at a load of text on glass when they are learning?

Quality is one thing, but these days, value for money is paramount and our philosophy has this at it's core. The Safeguarding Academy were pioneers of the collaborative approach - all of our courses are created by members, coming together to share the cost and expertise that is involved in creating a really rich course that you can be confident and proud of giving to your staff. Add to that course, an online assessment, post course evaluations to measure impact and related policies and procedures and you have a total solution to satisfy all your objectives and maximise your face to face delivery!

We are constantly creating new courses to meet the needs of our members; but if you don't find what you're looking for here, just get in touch and we'll see if anyone would like to collaborate with you.
