Level 1 Awareness of Safeguarding – 4-hour course
Safeguarding is how we can protect children, young people, and vulnerable adults from abuse or neglect by the actions, or lack of actions, of another person. In order to safeguard and protect persons from abuse or neglect, we need to learn how to identify vulnerable individuals and take necessary steps to stop abuse and neglect.
This Awareness of Safeguarding qualification is suitable for all persons and will provide an understanding of safeguarding which can be used in a workplace, activity group, or any instance where a person comes into contact with children or adults at risk. The qualification provides learners with the knowledge to identify a safeguarding concern, record a disclosure, and report to the appropriate person. Participants will also explore the different types of abuse, the signs to watch out for, and the legal responsibilities associated with safeguarding. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to act confidently and effectively to protect vulnerable individuals in any setting.
