Recognising Risk. Taking Action. Protecting Children.
Safeguarding children is a shared responsibility across health and social care. Even when working primarily with adults, care staff may come into contact with children and families — and must know how to recognise concerns and respond appropriately. Our Safeguarding Children in Health and Social Care course equips staff with the knowledge, awareness and confidence to identify safeguarding concerns, understand their responsibilities, and take the correct action to protect children from harm. This training supports staff to act lawfully, responsibly and compassionately, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of children at all times.
