About Your Course

Many children and young people experience some form of bullying during their adolescence, but it isn’t always easy to spot the signs, particularly with many victims being targeted online.

For individuals who currently work in a professional setting that involves children and young people, such as a school, it’s important to be clued up on the signs and effects of bullying, as well as the safeguarding measures that you can enforce as part of your role.

This course covers all of those elements, providing you with the knowledge you need to help prevent bullying, whether you’re currently in your professional role or you’re working towards it.

Understand Cyberbullying

With so many children and young people having an online presence, it makes it that much harder to avoid bullying behaviours as they can be reached through a digital screen. No longer is bullying confined to in-person situations.

While studying your Level 2 Certificate in Awareness of Bullying in Children and Young People, you will delve into the world of cyberbullying, identifying the behaviours and methods, as well as the ways in which to prevent it.

This bullying awareness course offers a level of flexibility that you don’t get from in-person learning. That’s because it’s delivered 100% online, so you can make your way through the modules at a pace that fits your lifestyle.

What’s more, you won’t have to take a single exam to achieve your nationally recognised qualification. Instead, you will be tasked with various assignments based on the knowledge you gain from the modules.

So, if you work full-time, have children to look after, or have other commitments that dominate your schedule, you don’t have to change your routine for your studies.
