Course description
Safeguarding Children Level 1 Training - Online Course
Did you know children are mostly abused by someone they know? Failure to listen to children, inadequate communication, lack of information sharing and insufficient training all impact efforts to reduce abuse. Abuse has an immediate effect on a child but can also create problems for the child long after the abuse has stopped.
Our online safeguarding children course explains what is meant by ‘safeguarding children’. It explains how you can protect a child’s right to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect.
If you manage or employ staff members, our safeguarding children course is an easy way to ensure that all employees are up to date with Regulation 13: Safeguarding service users from abuse and improper treatment of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.
Our online safeguarding children training course (Level 1) takes approximately 2 hours to complete. However, training progress is saved at the end of each topic, so you can complete the training in multiple sessions and take as long as you like.
If you work with children, completing this course will help improve your awareness of the potential dangers to children and the knowledge required to enhance their safety.
