This certificated training course is suitable for staff and volunteers who have regular and/or direct contact with children and young people (e.g. supervisor, leader, officer in charge).  It will assist staff and volunteers with meeting good practice standards in safeguarding children and young people.

It will cover:

• the legal and policy context of safeguarding children;
• what abuse is and what we know about abuse;
• procedures for reporting concerns;
• creating a safe, child centred environment; and
• code of behaviour for staff/volunteers and children/young people.

This training will be delivered in 2 parts:
