Who can deliver A Safe Space training?

Level 1 - all Girlguiding trainers who have up-to-date A Safe Space Levels 1-3 training, including those meeting the recognised prior learning requirements for Level 3. Trainers must also complete modules one to three of the e-learning.

Levels 2-4 - all Girlguiding trainers who have done the Trainer qualification module 4, A Safe Space. Trainers must also have up-to-date A Safe Space Levels 1-3 training, including those meeting the recognised prior learning requirements for Level 3, and have completed modules one to three of the e-learning.

Level 2 follow-up chat -  If you like you can include these follow-up chats before your Level 3 training sessions. Make sure you have enough time and have agreed this with the volunteers in advance. If your participents would like to do this, the training coordinator will let you know.

Level 4 resources will be available in Spring 2018.

Are you an external trainer or teacher? Check out our recognising prior learning process and assessment form to find out what levels of A Safe Space training you can deliver without the Girlguiding trainer qualification.

Two trainers can deliver training together to make sure the above requirements are met.
