REQUIREMENTS

Do I need Level 2 training? Level 2 safeguarding is legally required by all staff who have regular contact with patients, their families or carers, or the public.

In a joint statement from the BDA/BSPD it was said “the majority of dentists and dental care professionals will require level 2’.

The level 2 legal requirements can be met by completing a 4 hour course every 2 years.

Our course gives you a CPD certificate for 4 hours (2 hours adults and 2 hours children) which will be valid for 2 years.
