Why 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.
Module 1: Safeguarding and Child Protection
This module builds on your existing knowledge and outlines your responsibilities and what a culture of safeguarding is. It also covers key legislation and how organisations can work together to safeguard children.
Module 2: The Safeguarding Framework
This module explains the safeguarding framework, including different levels of need, as well as child protection and extra-familial safeguarding. It also covers early help and children in need.
Module 3: Recognising the Categories of Abuse
This module covers the different categories of maltreatment, and outlines the general indicators that it is occurring so you know how to identify if abuse and/or neglect is present.
Module 4: Recognising Different Types of Maltreatment
This module outlines different types of maltreatment, such as online abuse and domestic abuse and their indicators, so you can recognise possible safeguarding and child protection concerns.
Module 5: Risks and Vulnerabilities

The online assessment is taken on completion of the training material. You will be asked 20 multiple choice questions with a pass mark of 80%.

This Level 2 Safeguarding Children course is written at an advanced level and contributes towards increasing and maintaining your existing safeguarding knowledge. If you require an entry-level training course that requires no previous knowledge then we recommend taking our Introduction to Safeguarding Children (Level 1 Safeguarding) Training.
