Level 3 training is designed to follow on from Level 2 and you should attend the Level 2 Course before accessing Level 3. Both courses are bespoke for working in Baptist Churches so even if your workers have attended safeguarding training through a place of work or other volunteer role then we would still encourage them to attend …
