About this course
Safeguarding is often a really challenging and complex aspect to working with children and young people.

This course aims to build your awareness around the key issues to think about when Safeguarding Children and build your confidence in knowing what your responsibilities are, and feel more equipped to know how to respond to safeguarding issues.
