Introduction to Child Protection

INTRODUCTION TO CHILD PROTECTION (1 DAY COURSE)

ABOUT THE COURSE

This one day course is prepared for those who are new to this field of work or those who require first step basic training. We present this subject in a manner that is non-threatening and interesting to course participants.

This one day course is suitable for all newly qualified childcare professionals within social services, health, education, early years, youth offending/youth justice teams, fostering and adoption, private and voluntary sectors, community, and the police.

This course can provide the foundations for good practice and is often used as stage one of a three-part package, which can include our other courses, Introduction to Child Sexual Abuse & Introduction to Safe Caring. Trainers use a range of approaches to this subject and those who have attended have identified clear learning in terms of their daily work and how their practices relate to the legal framework and local procedures.
