Are SAFEcic Online Courses available in languages other than English?

All SAFEcic courses are English Language courses, with our International Child Safeguarding course also available in Arabic.

However, there are times when another language can be useful - a recent request was for help with Ukrainian nationals who were being employed in the UK and needed safeguarding training.

There is an alternative which works well with our courses, and helps many people who do not have English as their primary language to access effective Safeguarding training. Although we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the translation, we have been told it is very effective.

We suggest using the Chrome browser because that is the only one we are aware of which can be set up to translate all pages automatically. Please let it.support@safecic.co.uk know if other browsers can also do this.

To translate all of the text in any of our online courses or web pages. Click the title for screenshots;

1) Open the Chrome browser and log in at www.safecic.co.uk

Step 1

2) Click the three dots (top right) and in the drop down that appears, select "Translate...". A Pop-Up will open.

3) Click on the three dots in the Pop-Up

4) Click "Choose another language"

5) Click on the drop down menu that appears, then scroll through to find the language you want and click on it.

6) Click on "Translate". That will translate the current web page.

7) If the pop up is still there, skip this step. If the pop up has closed, repeat step 2) and it will reappear.

8) Select the tick box "Always translate English" which is now available.

9) You can now take our online courses or view any of our webpages in your chosen language.

Every page you now visit will be automatically translated into the selected language.

To turn it off again, just click the three dots, select "Translate..." and deselect "Always translate English". You may then need to click "English" to de-translate the current page.

SAFEcic online courses also have video clips with the audio in English, and we have quite a number of help videos too. These are hosted on Youtube, which also offers automatically translated subtitles. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of these, but they are supposed to be good and should help candidates to understand the course.

The candidate will need to select this on each individual video.

Selecting translated subtitles (closed captions) for video clips:

1) Click Play, pause the video and click on the Settings icon that appears.

Vid Step 1 Step 2

2) Click on "Subtitles/CC", scroll down and click on "Auto-translate".

3) Scroll through the list of languages until you find the one you want, then click on it.

4) Subtitles will now be displayed for that video clip in the language of your choice. You may need to rewind if you have missed something.
