Why should I take this course?
It is impossible to put an exact figure on how many children in the UK are suffering maltreatment at any one time, as it comes in many forms and many cases of child maltreatment go undetected and unreported.
Employers have a legal responsibility to ensure the health and safety of the children under their care and it is essential that those with safeguarding responsibilities are suitably trained so they can effectively carry out their duties.
Employees who work with children and/or their families have a duty to safeguard those they work with to provide the appropriate support. Employers must provide employees with information, instruction and training so they can fulfil their duties and responsibilities.

All of our courses are accredited by the CPD Certification Service as conforming to universally accepted Continuing Professional Development (CPD) guidelines.
