About the course
If you have heard the term 'safeguarding' but you are not sure what it means, or how it relates to day-to-day life, this short qualification course will be the perfect introduction for you. You will find out about the meaning of safeguarding and 'duty of care'. You will also learn about the types of abuse children and young people are at risk of, how you can recognise that they may be a victim and the help that is available. Finally you will learn about the possible safeguarding issues caused by modern technology.
How the course will be delivered
The course will be delivered by one of our specialist wellbeing tutors.
Activities will often include discussions, group and pair work, written work, Q&A and worksheets. Your tutor will ensure that the lessons are engaging, interactive and supportive.
There is a short multiple choice test at the end of this course which you must pass in order to achieve the Entry Level 3 Award in Introduction to Safeguarding.
