Safeguarding For Driving Instructors – By Neil Wightman

£85.00

Safeguarding is essential for Driving Instructors to protect learners – particularly children and vulnerable adults – from abuse, harm or neglect while in a one-on-one, unsupervised environment. It also protects the Instructor’s reputation and ensures good professional conduct,   

You will learn about the legal and ethical obligations to protect the well-being of learners and be able to implement safeguarding protocols, ensuring correct procedures are followed throughout the drivers training journey.
