What this course covers
Children across a wide range of settings can be vulnerable to abuse, and staff who work with them hold both a moral and legal duty to act on any concern. This programme explores the definitions and types of abuse, the factors that increase a child's risk, and the signs and symptoms staff should never ignore.
Learners also cover the correct procedures for reporting disclosures and raising concerns, alongside whistleblowing responsibilities. Scenario-based exercises help embed practical understanding for carers, teachers and support staff.
