Empowering better safguarding across the UK.

Secure Foundations Training Group is a team of highly experienced safeguarding specialists dedicated to sharing evidence-based best-practice techniques with organisations across the UK. Through our passion and knowledge we can help you make children safer.

Keeping children safe is everyone’s responsibility.

Safeguarding is everyone’s business, and no one should feel uncertain about how they can stand up for children in their care and give them a voice. 

Secure Foundations Training offers inclusive, highly detailed training packages that combine the latest safeguarding research with empathy and deep professional knowledge – from teaching in classrooms to testifying in courtrooms.

By working closely with your team, and providing the benefits of our combined decades of experience, we can help ensure that you are giving all children in your care the best possible protection, whilst supporting your staff and strengthening your organisation at the same time.

Why work with us?

While safeguarding is now a legal requirement, for many organisations it has become a tick box exercise with superficial knowledge shared at arm’s length. Even though threats to children are more complex and numerous than ever.

While choosing online training options can be easier and cheaper, this only advantages organisations, never the children they are responsible for. Feeling prepared – professionally and emotionally – can be vital in dealing with a safeguarding issue effectively, and that is exactly what we at Secure Foundations Training will do.

We saw that there was a clear safeguarding gap for many organisations. We fill that gap with a rigorous methodology built around children’s needs and a teaching model designed to be relatable and personal. Through a combination of evidence-based practice and real-life experiences shared through storytelling, we ensure your trainees feel empowered and prepared for any situation they could face in their role.

  • It was an immense privilege to have worked with Ruth Whittaker during my tenure as Headteacher. Ruth consistently demonstrated a rare combination of pedagogical brilliance and a tenacious commitment to inclusion, making her an invaluable asset to the school and to the broader educational community. She was a teacher of excellence, bringing not only subject expertise but also a deep understanding of the diverse needs of her students. Her ability to create an inclusive learning environment where every child felt seen, heard, and valued was nothing short of remarkable.
