The Safeguarding Children online course describes the different types of abuse—physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse and neglect—and what signs and symptoms to look out for.
The course provides a wide range of scenarios to give a clearer picture of what these forms of abuse might look like.
Identifying the signs and symptoms of abuse is critical in order to protect children’s health and development and overall wellbeing.
The Safeguarding Children training gives advice on how to respond if child abuse is suspected or if you are told about abuse.
Anyone who works with or around children is a part of the safeguarding process and has an obligation to report abuse and share information with other organisations and agencies to safeguard children.
Professionals working with children might also find themselves in a situation where an allegation is made against them. They will learn about allegation criteria, what happens after a claim has been made and what type of conduct is appropriate when working with children.
Like all EssentialSkillz courses, this Safeguarding Children eLearning course can be customised to meet your needs, enabling your workforce to understand the specific policies and procedures developed for your organisation. A designated course administrator can edit the text and images within the course, and link to organisation-specific documentation, all at no extra cost.
