Updated December 2023 (Working Together to Safeguard Children (2023) & Keeping Children Safe in Education (2023))
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. Building on these concepts the issue of child abuse is explored through focusing on the four main forms of abuse and bullying. 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.
