Online Training hosted by Virtual College

The NSCB online training is hosted by the Virtual College, one of the UK's leading e-learning colleges who have worked closely with Newcastle Safeguarding Children Board and other Local Safeguarding Children Boards to develop the courses.

The online courses are ideal for everyone who comes into contact with children, young people, their parents or carers through their work in either the statutory or voluntary sector, are endorsed by Newcastle Safeguarding Children Board, and are in line with the NSCB Training Strategy.

The learning modules have interactive learning screens, learner challenges, tracking, and online assessment. The NSCB issues a certificate automatically though the system once the learner attains the required score on the challenges.

The online training is free to all organisations who come under the umbrella of Newcastle Safeguarding Children Board (this includes the voluntary sector). Profit making organisations need to apply direct to the Virtual College to access the training, however there is a charge for learners. To support safeguarding children training we have negotiated a discount with the Virtual College. To obtain this discount please contact the Virtual College direct on 01943 885083 or e-mail info@safeguardingchildrenea.co.uk and quote discount code SCBNEWC.
