What level of risk is a priority 4 safeguarding?

A Priority 4 safeguarding risk is considered relatively low. This means that while there may be some potential for harm, it is minimal to moderate compared to higher priority risks.

For context, Priority 2 risks are high, with a significant chance of lasting harm, while Priority 3 risks are medium, indicating a concerning potential for harm. Priority 4 sits at the lower end of the scale, meaning the likelihood of harm is lower, and any impact is less severe. However, it’s still important to assess and manage these risks to ensure safety and well-being.

What does Safeguarding Level 4 cover?

Safeguarding Level 4 covers advanced knowledge and responsibilities for those in leadership or managerial roles. It includes topics like risk assessment, safeguarding policies, legal frameworks, handling complex safeguarding cases, and leading safeguarding investigations. This level is ideal for designated safeguarding leads (DSLs), managers, and professionals responsible for implementing safeguarding procedures in their organisation.

What jobs can I get with this skill and knowledge?

Completing Safeguarding Level 4 can open doors to various roles in safeguarding and child protection. You could pursue positions such as Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), Safeguarding Officer, Social Worker, Child Protection Officer, or roles in education, healthcare, and social care that require advanced safeguarding knowledge. This qualification is especially valuable for those in leadership or managerial roles responsible for implementing safeguarding policies and ensuring compliance within their organisation.

What is the average salary for a Care Assistant in the UK?

The average salary for a safeguarding role in the UK varies depending on experience, location, and the specific job title. Generally, entry-level safeguarding officers can expect to earn around £25,000 per year, while more experienced safeguarding leads or managers may earn between £35,000 and £50,000. In senior roles, such as a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) in large organisations, salaries can go even higher. If you’re looking to boost your career in safeguarding, gaining relevant qualifications, such as a Level 3 Designated Safeguarding Lead Training course, can help improve your job prospects and salary potential.
