Online Training Requirements
We would recommend submitting your application (see step 6) whilst waiting for your course dates. You can submit the training certificated prior to the licence being granted.
As part of the application process, you are required to carry out online training for two topics.
- Child Sexual Exploitation and Safeguarding
- Disability equality Training
We recommend these courses are carried out with The Blue Lamp Trust, however other providers may be accepted but you should discuss it with a Licensing Officer before booking.
