Description
This online Child Protection course is important because all children in Scotland have the right to be protected from abuse and neglect. So, it is vital that people who work with and for children and young people understand their child protection responsibilities, including how to recognise and respond to concerns.
Child protection refers to the activities undertaken to prevent children suffering, or likely to suffer, significant harm, and encompasses both preventing harm and responding appropriately in the event a child or young person has experienced harm.
During this online Child Protection course, you will learn how to:
- Recognise different types abuse and neglect
- Respond appropriately to child protection concerns
- Report child protection concerns
CHILD PROTECTION UNIT 1 | INTRODUCTION
In this first unit we explore key terminology, discuss legislation and national guidance, and explain the 4Rs of safeguarding.
CHILD PROTECTION UNIT 2 | RECOGNISING
In unit 2 we look at how to recognise the four main categories of abuse: physical, emotional and sexual abuse, and neglect. Recognising abuse, or the potential for abuse, is the first step in protecting a child or young person.
CHILD PROTECTION UNIT 3 | RESPONDING
It is important that you know how to respond appropriately should a child or young people make a disclosure of abuse. This third unit will support you with this, as well as exploring some of the reasons why a child may notfeel able to tell anyone about the abuse they are experiencing.
CHILD PROTECTION UNIT 4 | REPORTING
Any child protection concern should be reported in order that the child gets the support they need as quickly as possible. In this final unit we explore when and what to report, as well as who to report to. We also look at the importance of recording what has been said or done.
Please note: This Child Protection course includes descriptions of child abuse and neglect which some people may find upsetting.
