Course Introduction

Five days a week, thirty-nine weeks of the year: that’s how long the average child spends at school, so it’s hugely important that each and every one of them feels safe, valued and protected. Not to mention, parents need to be able to feel confident that their children are in an environment that will give them the freedom to learn and achieve their full potential. This level 1 safeguarding course will equip you with the skills to do just that.

In this Safeguarding Level 1 course, you’ll discover how to prevent and detect harm to children. You’ll examine different types of abuse, the tell-tale signs, and the procedures that need to be followed to report it. You’ll study key legislation which protects young people from harm, as well as how you can help them to stay safe from dangers such as cyber-bullying.

Collapse

This distance learning safeguarding course is essential for those who come into contact with children as part of their working role including voluntary work and those who work with children on a daily basis e.g. teachers, dental staff, nursery nurses, child-minders, foster carers, teaching assistants or administration staff.
