COURSE DURATION.
The estimated duration of the Safeguarding Children course is 2 hours. Candidates may log in and out of the system and therefore do not need to complete the course in a single sitting. Learner course progress is automatically saved, so that they may return to the course whenever they wish and as a result course completion is entirely in the hands of the learner.
COURSE ACCESS.
Learners receive 90 days of access to the course materials from the date of registration, therefore the Safeguarding Children course can be completed straightaway or at one’s leisure. Learners receive individual login details and can access the course using any device, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This provides learners with the flexibility to train on the go, whenever and wherever they wish, providing a more economical training option for small and large businesses.
Candidates who are registered by their manager using the GROUP option will receive 90 days of course access from the date an account is assigned to them, therefore allowing businesses to purchase multiple user accounts, safe in the knowledge that they will not expire until they are assigned to learners.
Course access ceases immediately following a successful final exam submission, thereafter course materials can not be viewed.
WHO REQUIRES THIS COURSE?
The Safeguarding Children course is suitable for all staff members, but particularly those who work with children. It will enable them to understand how effective processes and procedures can ensure the safety of practitioners and most importantly the children in their care.
This course can also be used as a valuable part of a school, or other educational programme. Furthermore, the opportunity for learners to gain an instant achievement certificate is highly motivating.
COURSE CONTENT.
The Safeguarding Children course consists of 3 core units, concluded by a final exam:
UNIT 1 – WHAT IS SAFEGUARDING?
UNIT 2 – ABUSE TYPES AND ACTIONS.
UNIT 3 – DISCLOSURE AND SHARING.
Each unit consists of topics and interim quizzes which must be completed before progress. At each stage, learners must click a ‘MARK COMPLETE‘ button to progress. This serves as a means by which course progress can be tracked and is particularly useful in situations where learners are enrolled by a manager.
Using clearly defined Units and Topics provides candidates with a structured framework that allows them to set achievement targets as they progress through the course. Each course section is marked with a green check following completion, allowing learners to leave and easily recommence training.
COURSE AIMS.
By the end of the Safeguarding Children course, learners should be able to.
- Identify key elements of the law on safeguarding children.
- Describe how practitioners can take steps to protect themselves from allegations and complaints.
- Identify ways in which concerns about children can be reported.
- Identify the characteristics of different types of child abuse.
- Describe actions to take in response to evidence that a child has been abused or is at risk of being abused.
- Describe how to respond to a child who discloses abuse.
- Identify those people who the information of abuse or suspected abuse may be shared with.
Achievement of these course aims will provide learners and their employers with a degree of confidence that safety levels in the particular work environment have been enhanced. Additionally, the receipt of an approved certificate will serve as a recognition of learner achievement and also provide proof if necessary of regulatory compliance.
