Welcome to the WI Safeguarding Training for FSOs.  

This course is primarily aimed at WI members undertaking the role of Safeguarding Officer for their federation. Please note, in order to carry out the role of a Federation Safeguarding Officer role you must have been elected by your federation. However, the training is open to all WI members. 

This course covers safeguarding in the WI, from recognising and responding to concerns to understanding legislation and member responsibilities. It also explores the Federation Safeguarding Officer’s role, including managing complex cases, maintaining boundaries, and working with the NSO and external agencies for safe, effective practice.

Thank you for supporting your federation in this role, we hope you find the training useful. 

The training is split into 2 modules:   

• An Introduction to Safeguarding in the WI

• Advanced Safeguarding Practice for FSOs

At the end of each module, you will need to complete a short test consisting of 5 questions. Upon successful completion of both modules, you will be able to download your certificate immediately upon successful completion.  

Course duration : approximately 1.25 hours.

There is additional reading to undertake which will vary depending on the individual.  

You can start this course straight away. Please follow the link in your confirmation email to take you directly to the course.

You can complete the modules at your own pace and you do not have to complete the entirety of the training in one sitting. 

Please note this training is for new and existing Federation Safeguarding Officers. Upon completion, we recommend completing this training every 2 years to ensure you are up to date with all existing and new policies and guidance, which are reviewed frequently by NFWI.
