Course Overview

When working with vulnerable children, nothing overrides safeguarding and it is essential that all support staff are aware of what safeguarding is, what constitutes abuse and how to respond to concerns. This training course confirms the meaning of safeguarding, abuse, grooming and Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE) and identifies the six core principles which underpin approaches to safeguarding.

This training course will identify legislation and regulations which relates to safeguarding including Regulation 12 (The Protection of Children Standard) and clarifies reasons why supporters may become involved in safeguarding concerns.

This training course considers reasons why some children may have increased vulnerability, defines different types of abuse and associated actions and indicators of abuse, whilst discussing reasons why some children may experience barriers to disclosure and ways to promote open avenues for disclosures.

This training course considers influences of social media and online activity and ways to report concerns about this (CEOP) and other issues including Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE), County Lines and radicalisation.

This training course describes procedures to follow for all safeguarding concerns for children including disclosures and allegations, boundaries relating to the investigation of potential concerns and procedures to follow in relation to confidentiality, data protection, safe sharing (‘No Secrets’) and whistleblowing.

This training course discusses ways of preventative working in terms of recruitment and selection, education for children, training for staff and policy and procedure and describes ways of supporting children to be aware of raising concerns and ways of disclosing (procedures).
