This online Safeguarding course provides the knowledge needed to protect children under you care. Safeguarding refers to the steps taken to prevent harm to children and young people. We all have a shared social responsibility to protect the welfare of children. On an organisational level, any business that works with children and young people, such as sports clubs, nurseries and schools, also has legal safeguarding duties.

ONLINE SAFEGUARDING COURSE UNIT 1 | INTRODUCTION

In this first unit we provide the background information needed to understand what safeguarding is and look at legislation so you know the duties placed on various stakeholders including yourself, your organisation and local authorities.

ONLINE SAFEGUARDING COURSE UNIT 2 | RECOGNISING A CONCERN

In unit 2 we provide an understanding of what a safeguarding or child protection concern is. This will help you recognise the various forms of potential abuse and neglect. Recognising abuse is the first step in protecting a child or young person.

ONLINE SAFEGUARDING COURSE UNIT 3 | RESPONDING APPROPRIATELY

Appropriate safeguarding requires appropriate responses. In unit 3 we look at how to respond if a child discloses abuse to you directly, as well as some of the reasons why a child may not feel able to tell anyone about the abuse they are experiencing.

ONLINE SAFEGUARDING COURSE UNIT 4 | REPORTING YOUR CONCERNS

Once a concern is recognised it should be reported or referred to an appropriate person. Because of the sensitive nature of information and the potential for miscommunication, the process of reporting must be taken very seriously. In this final section we outline best practice with respect to reporting a child protection concern.
