This course provides a practical introduction to safeguarding children and the responsibilities of professionals who support their safety and wellbeing. It explains how safeguarding concerns can arise, how to recognise signs that a child may be at risk of harm, and how to respond appropriately and confidently. The course focuses on understanding children’s experiences, responding in a trauma-informed way, and working collaboratively to protect children and promote their welfare in everyday professional practice.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand the key principles of safeguarding children and why safeguarding is essential in professional practice.
  • Recognise common indicators that a child may be experiencing harm, abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
  • Identify situations, environments, or behaviours that may increase safeguarding risks for children and young people.
  • Apply appropriate responses when safeguarding concerns arise, including reporting and recording concerns clearly.
  • Respond to children’s needs in a trauma-informed, supportive, and professional manner that prioritises their safety and wellbeing.
     

This course is CPD accredited and adheres to the training, support and development standards outlined in The Fostering Services (England) Regulations 2011. 
It is also tailored to where you live in the UK, adhering to each country’s own individual regulators – namely: Ofsted, The Care Inspectorate (Wales), The Care Inspectorate (Scotland), and The Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (Northern Ireland).
If you work within the foster care sector, this course will give you the required learning outcomes to be competent in your chosen subject area. 
Because each of our courses is created by a specialist within this sector, we have the expertise to tailor any course to your specific needs. You can even arrange for your own documentation policies or procedures to be included in your Learning Management System.
