The role of designated person can be challenging and unfamiliar to many, but is vital in protecting the organisation, its staff and the people you work with.

Hi, will this course provide certification for me to become the DSL / Officer in my organisation to cover both vulnerable adults and children.
Answer:Hi there Many thanks for your information request. To become a DSL you would need to first complete your Safeguarding Children and Safeguarding Adults courses.

I can't say whether Ofsted recognise CPD certified courses but it is a nationally recognised accreditation so I would think that they would recognise it. Just double check with them to be on the safe side. Anything lese, please let me know Warm Regards Sarah
