Target group
This course is the minimum mandatory requirement for all Coventry City Council employees intended for people who might meet or have occasional contact with children or vulnerable adults as part of their work and must be refreshed every three years.

Adult Social Care staff that are up-to-date with a Safeguarding Foundation or Refresher classroom course do not need to complete this training.
