Safeguarding

Safeguarding is how we can protect children, young people and vulnerable adults from abuse or neglect by the actions, or lack of actions, of another person. In order to safeguard and protect persons from abuse or neglect we need to learn how to identify vulnerable individuals and take necessary steps to stop abuse and neglect. 

Everyone has the right to be safe and live without the fear of abuse, neglect or exploitation, and this course aims to teach the candidate how to recognise the signs of abuse and neglect, and what actions can take to stop this from happening and occurring again in the future. 

This course is designed for all persons, no matter the field that they are directly involved in, to give them the tools and knowledge to make a difference to a vulnerable person’s life. 

It will also let the practitioner reporting the abuse know how they can safeguard themselves in every day work, while seeking help and reporting the incident identified.

The course also covers Radicalisation. 

The candidate will be awarded an Ofqual national Level 3 Award in England. At the end of the course there will be a short test.
