Safeguarding Children in Healthcare: Recognition, Reporting & Multi-Agency Training provides essential knowledge for anyone working in clinical and healthcare environments where children may be present. Safeguarding is a critical responsibility that helps protect children from abuse, neglect, and harm while promoting their welfare and wellbeing.

Healthcare professionals are often in a unique position to notice early signs of abuse or neglect. This course is suitable for nurses, healthcare assistants, GP staff, clinicians, social care workers, and administrative teams who may encounter safeguarding concerns. It helps learners understand their duty to act quickly, safely, and in line with UK safeguarding guidance.

The course covers recognising physical and behavioural signs of abuse, handling disclosures, accurate record-keeping, and referral procedures. Learners will explore multi-agency collaboration with social services, police, and education professionals, as well as complex safeguarding issues such as domestic abuse, trafficking, and child exploitation. On completion, participants will be better prepared to support safe healthcare environments and contribute to effective safeguarding culture within their organisation.
