This short online programme is designed for anyone who comes into contact with children through their work or leisure activities and aims to provide a practical awareness of the issues relating to the protection of children.
This is achieved through exploring the concepts of child vulnerability, child protection and significant harm.

There is a brief examination of the law that underpins child protection and the responsibility in relation to handling the disclosure of abuse by children.
By the end of the study the learner will be equipped with the knowledge, understanding and skills to recognise the signs and symptoms of child vulnerability and abuse which will in turn help to reduce its incidence.
