This course provides professionals working with children who are looked after with the knowledge, understanding, and leadership skills needed to strengthen safeguarding practice in their professional setting. It explores the legal framework that underpins safeguarding duties, the standards and expectations for safe care, and the practical strategies that support children’s wellbeing and protection. The course encourages learners to reflect on their own role within safeguarding systems and to develop confidence in recognising risk, responding appropriately, and contributing to safe, trauma-informed environments that promote stability, trust, and positive outcomes for children and young people.

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

  • Assess the ways in which early attachment experiences influence emotional, social, and behavioural development in looked after children.
  • Analyse how trauma, neglect, and disrupted relationships affect safeguarding decisions and daily care practice.
  • Lead trauma-informed and attachment-aware approaches that promote stability, safety, and resilience across different care settings.
  • Develop effective professional responses that interpret behaviour as communication of need rather than as defiance or risk alone.
  • Critically evaluate policies, legislation, and organisational systems to ensure they uphold children’s rights and emotional 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.
To discuss these options before making your booking, or to ask any other questions, please just get in touch via our live chat.
