British Canoeing Awarding Body are pleased to announce the launch of the NEW Safeguarding Refresher eLearning

This new elearning is an additional option for learners and doesn’t replace the current Safeguarding Refresher: Social Media elearning: both refresher courses will be available for learners, along with the Introduction to Safeguarding elearning.

If you have already completed the current Safeguarding Refresher: Social Media and now need to extend your Safeguarding, the Safeguarding Refresher: Positive Safeguarding Culture will be your next elearning.

If you haven’t needed to do a Refresher elearning yet, you have a choice of two courses: either Safeguarding Refresher: Social Media or Safeguarding Refresher: Positive Safeguarding Culture. You can choose the topic which best fits your needs.

You don’t have to do the current Social Media refresher first before the new Positive Safeguarding Culture refresher. Completing either eLearning for the first time will extend your Safeguarding for 3 years, you don’t have to do both at once.

The elearning has 3 modules:

• a Refresher Core module, reviewing key safeguarding information including identifying and reporting concerns.
• a new Positive Safeguarding Culture module, focused on good safeguarding practice, how to embed it in your paddlesport club/organisation and what some of the positive outcomes can be.
• a Quiz module

The Safeguarding Refresher: Positive Safeguarding Culture elearning costs the same as current Safeguarding elearnings – £10 for national association members and £20 for non-members. The course will be available in the British Canoeing Awarding Body elearning store.
