Swim England Child Safeguarding

This CPD will be delivered online as a webinar.

A webinar is an interactive online seminar that is led by the tutor and allows participants in different locations to be guided through the course content, hear the presenter, ask questions and be involved in group text discussions.

All our webinars are hosted on Zoom. We have created a guide to Zoom webinars to help you prepare.
