About the Course

A focused, one-week course on recognising, responding to, and reporting child protection concerns — the training every adult working with children needs, regardless of their specific role.

The course works through realistic scenarios rather than abstract policy, so learners leave knowing exactly what to do (and who to tell) if something concerns them, and just as importantly, what not to do.

What You Will Learn

01
Recognising signs of concern:

physical, behavioural, and verbal indicators that a child may be at risk

02
Responding appropriately:

what to say and do in the moment a child discloses something to you, without leading or promising confidentiality you can't keep

03
Reporting procedures:

who to report a concern to, how quickly, and what to document

04
Safer working practice:

setting appropriate boundaries as an adult working with children, to protect both the child and yourself

05
Confidentiality and information sharing:

what can and can't be shared, and with whom, when a concern is raised
