Safeguarding Courses
- Swim England North West (SENW) organise Swim England online safeguarding workshops. Please click here to find a course and book your place. (these courses are considerably subsidised by the Region – no additional claims can be made for these courses)
- Swim England also run safeguarding workshops via their own website – Please click here to find a course and book your place (please note these courses are full RRP – clubs can claim up to 50% of the cost of these courses back from the Region by completing a claim form – found on our website under ‘Clubs/Funding’)
- An online renewal course is now also available from Swim England which can be found by clicking here.
The Safeguarding courses are designed for anyone in a role where they are working with young or vulnerable people, both in a swimming teaching and coaching environment. Completing this course will support club SwimMark submissions and is an integral part of Swim England’s Club Affiliation process.
Please note, from January 1st 2024, Swim England will ONLY accept Swim England Safeguarding certificates for any role where a Safeguarding qualification is required. This will be a rolling introduction meaning that the Swim England face to face course must be completed in the first instance as a qualification expires, this can then be followed 3 years later, by completing an online renewal (this must be completed before the initial qualification expires), this must then be followed by a face to face course 3 years later.
