WHY WE HAVE DEVELOPED AN ONLINE SAFEGUARDING & CHILD PROTECTION TRAINING COURSE

• Providing a safe learning environment for children and vulnerable adults is at the heart of everything we do

• We’re proud of our track record for Safer Recruitment and have been awarded the DfE Quality Mark at 100% for seventh consecutive time

• Temporary staff often fall outside the remit of three yearly training for safeguarding and child protection

• We have a duty of care to ensure that all of our temporary staff have the skills and sensitivity to deal with safeguarding and child protection

WHY WE HAVE DEVELOPED AN ONLINE SAFEGUARDING & CHILD PROTECTION TRAINING COURSE

• Feedback on our training is that it has given schools greater confidence in skills of our staff working in their school

• We are responding to feedback from partner schools who want online training for ALL members of staff

• Market research found that 86% of schools delivered their existing training offline, with 67% feeling that an online solution would make their training more effective

• 80% of schools and colleges surveyed were dissatisfied with some elements of their current safeguarding training provision

CREATING A SAFER LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Our Safeguarding and Child Protection training is a unique online course that up-skills staff in four key areas: Safeguarding – An overview of the legislation covering safeguarding children and child protection as well as the identification of harm, abuse or neglect

Roles and responsibilities – Roles and responsibilities in relation to safeguarding children and child protection, what staff should do if they’re in receipt of information, and who to refer it to

Health and safety – The key health and safety concerns that staff may encounter in their working day. Also covering the use of force or restraint, accidents, first aid and health and safety in practical lessons, as well as on educational visits

E-safety and anti-bullying – Raising awareness of e-safety, the subject of bullying and cyber-bullying and how to approach them

HOW IT WORKS
