Safeguarding Children and Young People
The World Health Organisation estimates that there are millions of minors across the world that suffer physical, emotional, or sexual violence.
In the UK we are not immune and Safeguarding training is essential for anyone who might come into contact with children, either at work or as a volunteer.
Many children that are abused by an adult never tell anyone which makes it vital that everyone who comes into contact with children is able to spot the warning signs, symptoms, indicators or pick up clues and respond appropriately and in a timely manner.

How is it delivered?
Safeguarding can be delivered online or through a computer network to each trainee at their desktop, laptop or device. The training can be completed at the employees’ own pace by ‘book marking’ and recording progress and returning to the training at a later stage.
In delivering the training in this way the normal cost of training is reduced whilst still achieving the desired awareness and compliance with the organisation’s obligations. At the end of the training the trainee will complete an assessment.
