Course Overview
Child abuse, in its many forms, has a significant impact on a child’s wellbeing and development. This module looks at children’s rights in the context of safeguarding, key legislation, how to recognise the different types of child maltreatment and signs of abuse, and what to do if you need to raise a concern.
By the end, you’ll feel confident in identifying safeguarding concerns and taking appropriate action to protect children and young people.
With healthcare staff often expected to complete training on an annual basis there will be topics you will be more familiar with than others. Our self assessment tool, which is at the start of each course, will allow you to test your knowledge to see if you would like to complete the training or progress straight to the end of course test.
At the end of this safeguarding children training, you will need to complete a test that consists of multiple choice questions. Learners are required to achieve an 80% pass mark, and – if necessary – may attempt the test six times at no extra cost. If learners do not achieve the pass mark, further attempts may be given by contacting our support team.
The online safeguarding children level 1 training is fully interactive and is packed with various multimedia forms including video, animation and custom graphics to give you the best learning experience.
Each element of the training is WCAG 2.2 accessible and includes scenarios, contextualised activities, reflective activities, knowledge checks, bite sized lessons and so much more.
