Safeguarding Children Awareness
If you work with children, you have a duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people under the Working Together to Safeguard Children (2018) statutory guidance. It’s extremely important your staff know how to spot signs and indicators of abuse and neglect, as well as knowing the correct method to reporting a concern.
Description
Did you know that according to NSPCC, unfortunately, one in five children have experienced abuse at some point in their lifetime? That’s why anyone working with children or families are legally required to have knowledge of how to safeguard children and take a Safeguarding Children training course. This knowledge can help protect and prevent children from experiencing abuse and neglect which in turn could change, or in some cases save the lives of children.
Our Safeguarding Children training course covers how to recognise signs of abuse, key safeguarding legislation, the steps to appropriately respond to any safeguarding concerns and the importance of speaking up and acting quickly. Upon successful completion of this online course, learners will be awarded a CPD accredited Safeguarding Children certificate and can be used to provide evidence for compliance.
The aim of this Safeguarding Children Awareness training course is to greater increase your knowledge of child safeguarding, how to protect children from harm, and the relevant safeguarding legislation.
