1. Back to Basics
Module one explores the varying forms and signs of child abuse and child exploitation. It also covers online abuse, child abduction and extremism and radicalisation. It also outlines amendments to relevant legislation and guidance.
2. Recognising Abuse
Module two explores how to recognise signs of abuse and dealing with disclosures. It covers your responsibility when it comes to allegations against staff and the importance of a child-centred approach.
3. The Changing Face of Safeguarding
Module three explores several current safeguarding concerns, including the use of smartphones and COVID 5 years on.
Throughout the course, you will be asked questions to test your knowledge or to reflect upon current practice in the settings where you work with children and young people.
