Learning outcomes
- You will learn the details of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child
- You will learn about relevant safeguarding legislation in the UK
- You will gain an understanding of what makes some children more vulnerable to abuse and neglect
- You will be able to write, and review, your own safeguarding policies and procedures
Advantages of this course
- As a society, we have a duty to protect children and young people from harm. This is often referred to as ‘safeguarding’ and every nation will have its own laws relating to safeguarding, which cascades down to a local level. As such, it is imperative that practitioners are aware of the relevant legislation, guidance, policies and procedures, and, importantly, know how to put it in to practice. This course will help to deepen understanding of safeguarding, and provides a specific guide to multi-agency working.
- Should there be concerns over the welfare of a child, staff should be equipped with the knowledge that will enable them to not only identify signs and symptoms of abuse but act appropriately. This course suggests reading, presentations, and additional information that will provide practical information and expand knowledge.
- Additional activities encourage you to reflect on your learning
On successful completion of this course, you will have the option of purchasing a CACHE certificate. This certificate must not be confused with nationally regulated qualification achievement.
