Safeguarding is important for everyone in the learning environment, not just pupils. Parents need to be able to feel confident that their children are fully protected in an environment that will give them the freedom to learn and achieve their full potential. Staff need the security of knowing that they too are protected.
This 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. This is a knowledge-only qualification suitable for learners aged 14 and above; no real work environment placement is required.
This course is a formally recognised RQF qualification and is recognised throughout the UK, Europe and beyond.
