Learn how to respond to a Safeguarding concern

Take our Safeguarding eLearning Course

British Orienteering believes that it is essential to have at least a basic understanding of what behaviour is appropriate, how to identify a safeguarding concern and be confident about how to respond, as well as being clear about how to access support.

This course has been designed to be a great introduction for those delivering orienteering to others and wishing to learn about safeguarding, especially those who have contact with children or adults at risk.

This eLearning course is £10.00, the course will take approximately 45 minutes to complete, and you will also receive the following:

  • Quick links to supporting resources, forms, and policies
  • Certificate

To access the course, click here to set up your login for our eLearning platform, then select the course from the menu. If you are a British Orienteering member, please note that you will need to set up a login when you access the eLearning platform rather than using your British Orienteering login.
