Two levels of course are available:

Further adult/child protection -  specifically developedto enhance the learning of designated professional for safegurading and their  deputy within an organisation, and for anyone wishing to cover the topic in more depth. It covers child and adult safeguarding policies and procedures, identifying concerns, handling allegations and complaints and making referrals

If you work or volunteer with both children and adults at risk (vulnerable adults) then you have a duty to be aware of safeguarding issues for both children and adults. Our combined Adult/Child protection courses allow you to learn about both vulnerable groups in one combined training course.  These combined courses offer excellent value for money as you effectively get two courses for the price of one.

On completion of the introductory level course you will:

• Have a general awareness of the range of legislation and guidance surrounding safeguarding children and adults.
• Be able to define the different types of abuse, including domestic violence.
• Be able to demonstrate an awareness of the range of indicators of abuse, neglect and exploitation.

We are pleased to annouce the release of our combined child protection/adult safeguarding training courses.  There are quite a few areas where staff need to receive both child protection and vulnerable adult safeguarding training, for example dentists, hospital staff etc.  Traditionally this has required taking two separate courses, with the added costs of both time and money.

Although unique in their own way, child protection and adult safeguarding has a lot in common and therefore by combing the training into one eLearning course, a learner can quickly get up to speed on both topics.

There are two courses available to take:

Introduction To Adult/Child Protection – Level 1. A general safeguarding course specifically designed for anyone who comes into contact with children and adults at risk. It covers legislation and guidance, the different types of abuse, the range of indicators of abuse and neglect, together with your responsibilities with regard to reporting concerns.

Leading On Adult/Child Protection – Level 2. An online safeguarding course specifically developed for the nominated safeguarding lead and deputy within an organisation, who have already completed a Level 1 course. It is also suitable for anyone wishing to cover the topic in more depth. It covers safeguarding policies and procedures, identifying concerns, handling allegations and complaints and how and when to make referrals.

We will very soon be launching a set of combined child protection/adult safeguarding training courses.  There are quite a few areas where staff need to receive both child protection and vulnerable adult safeguarding training, for example dentists, hospital staff etc.  Traditionally this has required taking two separate courses, with the added costs of both time and money.

Although unique in their own way, child protection and adult safeguarding has a lot in common and therefore by combing the training into one eLearning course, a learner can quickly get up to speed on both topics.
