What is Virtual Training?

Virtual Training is in place of face-to-face training which is currently not available due to Covid-19 restrictions. It is a live session with a trainer and other learners which can be done remotely using digital technology. It enables learners to listen and interact with the trainer and with other learners as you would in a face-to-face session.

What Equipment/Technology do I need?

  • A quiet space where you won’t be interrupted

  • Your handouts (sent prior to the course)

  • A laptop/PC/smartphone or tablet (maximum of two people per screen please)

  • A speaker and a microphone as a minimum, but preferably a web cam too (most modern devices will have these built-in)

  • The training will be conducted through Microsoft Teams but you don’t need to download the software – you can join as a ‘Guest.’

How do I take part in a Virtual Training Session?

  • Check the training calendar and select the course and date you wish to take part in

  • Make sure you have access to the necessary technology (see panel above entitled 'What Equipment/Technology do I need?')

  • Make sure your camera and microphone are working

  • Join in the training!

Level 1 training

As before, you have the option of completing the online training or downloading and completing the workbook.

Although this would be valid for three years, we recommend face-to-face training as soon as it becomes available, particularly for new starters.

Level 1 Workbook

The Workbook gives a basic understanding of safeguarding and can be used by staff and volunteers.

The Workbook can be printed and done in your own time and then discussed with your manager.

Offering a flexible approach to learning, it can be used at a convenient time, has to be completed with support and supervision from a manager, can be completed as a group activity or individually - it provides information and checks learning using a variety of questions.

To download a copy of the ERSAB workbook please click on the link below. Answers are available to managers from the SAB Administration team.

Level 2 training

ERSAB Level 2 courses are suitable for all delegates working within the voluntary and independent sector supporting 'Adults at Risk of Harm' (formerly Vulnerable Adults), in a range of settings.

A prerequisite to taking a Level 2 course is that participants must have completed Level 1 training.

Level 2 courses include:

  • the Mental Capacity Act 2005 course which allows professionals to be aware of their role and responsibility when applying the Mental Capacity Act 2005, within the safeguarding adults context.

  • Reporting a Concern course which aims to raise the profile of the Safeguarding Adults Operational Guidance and apply this to reporting a concern and completing Form 1 of the Concerns Form.

Both Level 2 courses are 3 hours in duration and a pre-requisite for further learning at Level 3 provided by the Board.

Level 3 training

Level 3 training is for seniors/managers.

For the MCA session there are three elements, the ERSAB MCA Video, the SCIE video and the presentation.

Both sessions include an evaluation which you must complete in order to claim your temporary certificate.

Learning briefs

Seven-minute briefings are based on research that suggests seven minutes is an ideal time in which to concentrate and learn.

This type of summary is now being adopted by the Board in order to provide learning briefs for partners in regard to Adult Safeguarding.
