If you prefer to complete a trainer-led session instead of the e-learning\, book onto our face-to-face training session. \nTimings 9am to 1pm. \nThis is a uniform event. \nA minimum of 4 people are required to run this event. \n \n Book Your Space Via The Learning Platform\n \nDirections:Galbraith Hall\, Allenby Road\, Southall\, UB1 2HX. Galbraith Hall can be found on the same site as Allenby Primary School. You should park within the gates and as you approach the inner school gates Galbraith Hall is the building on the left. It is important to use the postcode and not Google Galbraith Hall as the one that comes up is in Uxbridge and we are in Southall. \nSafe Guiding can be completed via e-learning on the learning platform. This e-learning takes about 3 hours and is divided into smaller modules. It’s designed for you to dip in and out of and it’ll save your progress along the way. We wouldn’t recommend completing this all in one go but make sure you allow plenty of time to complete it before your deadline.
