Introduction to Safeguarding
Our Introduction to Safeguarding online learning course gives users a general introduction to safeguarding and child protection whilst considering aspects such as the impact of the language that we use.
Meeting your needs
As set out in Working Together, “Everyone who works with children has a responsibility for keeping them safe.” In a world that is constantly changing, we need to start somewhere, as well as have a means to ensure that both our basic knowledge and the knowledge of those who we work with is up to date. Our online course covers the basics clearly and concisely whilst providing pointers for further reading if you want to know more.

Why Safeguarding Network?
With over 50 years of experience in child protection work and through working closely with designated safeguarding leads, online learning from Safeguarding Network is built by practitioners who have learned how to use e-learning software. This is in contrast to e-learning providers that have built courses through liaising with subject matter experts. Our e-learning reflects current practice, legislation and statutory guidance, and is influenced by our daily experiences in keeping children and young people safe.
