Introduction into Safeguarding Children

Course review:

This course helps to address the 'stay safe' outcome of the Government's 'Every Child Matters' policy – the current government approach to children and young people, looking from a broad perspective at ensuring the well-being of everyone from birth to age 19, making sure each child, whatever their background or their circumstances, has the support they need to:

• Be healthy
• Stay safe
• Enjoy and achieve
• Make a positive contribution
• Achieve economic well-being

The aim of the module is to concentrate on ways in which children and young people can 'stay safe' by minimising the incidence of child abuse and child neglect. The module covers child abuse training and will help the learner gain a better understanding of the types of abuse or neglect to a child and explain what the learner must do if they suspect a child is being abused or neglected.
