Overview

Safeguarding is EVERYBODY’s business. It is an umbrella term that describes how we promote the welfare of children and keep them safe. Every child has the right to live a life free from abuse harm and neglect, and we all have a part to play in protecting them now and in the future.

The importance of safeguarding children cannot be over emphasised. All organisations with staff who have contact with children, young people and families have a duty of care to keep them safe.

This includes staff being able to recognise signs, symptoms and behavioural indicators of abuse, know how to respond to concerns and work with other agencies. Without training, staff will not be equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to keep children safe from abuse harm and neglect.

This course is for all staff and volunteers who come into contact with children and families. Everyone has a responsibility to protect, safeguard and promote the well-being of children, and safeguarding should always be at the forefront of the organisation.

Module 1 – Understanding key terms of safeguarding and child protection.

Module 2 – Legislation, guidance and the safeguarding framework.

Module 3 - Types of abuse and indicators.

Module 4 – Extra-familial safeguarding.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
