Safeguarding Children
Everyone who works with or around children shares responsibility for keeping them safe. This course gives you the knowledge to act on that responsibility: the forms abuse and neglect can take, the physical and behavioural signs that should raise concern, the legislation that underpins child protection in the UK, and the right way to record and report a concern when something does not feel right. It is suitable for schools, clubs, childcare settings, healthcare, volunteering and any role that brings you into contact with children. Your verified certificate of completion is issued as soon as you pass the assessment.
