New Safeguarding Course for Driving Instructors – Now Booking

Driving instructors occupy a unique position of trust, often working one-to-one with learners of all ages and backgrounds. While safeguarding has long been recognised in education, healthcare and sport, it is becoming increasingly important within the driver training profession.

This brand-new Safe Lessons™ Safeguarding Course has been specifically developed for driving instructors to raise awareness, build confidence and promote best practice in safeguarding.

The course is not about turning instructors into investigators. Instead, it provides the knowledge and practical skills to help instructors recognise when something may not be right, respond appropriately and understand when and how to report concerns.

During this interactive online course, participants will explore:

• Understanding safeguarding and your responsibilities as a driving instructor.
• Recognising the signs of abuse, neglect and exploitation.
• Professional boundaries and maintaining trust.
• Managing disclosures using the L.E.A.R.N. Model.
• Recording and reporting safeguarding concerns.
• GDPR, photography and social media guidance.
• Practical resources and templates to use in your own business.
• Creating a safer, more inclusive learning environment for every learner.

Every delegate will receive a Safe Lessons™ Workbook packed with practical guidance, checklists, policies and resources to support safeguarding in everyday driving lessons.

Whether you teach learner drivers, trainee instructors or specialist clients, this course will help you strengthen your professionalism while enhancing the safety and wellbeing of those you teach.
