Develop essential knowledge and skills to provide safe, supportive care for children and young people.
It’s essential to ensure the safety and well-being of children under your care. This involves being aware of the potential risks they may face, such as abuse, exploitation, and unhealthy habits. Our course equips you with the knowledge and skills to protect children from these dangers, including accident prevention and fire safety measures. All children and young people deserve to be safe and well cared for within a safe and protective family. However, unfortunately this is not always the case. With over 50,000 children identified as needing protection from abuse in the UK, it is important that those working in the care sector understand the risks of abusive and exploitative behaviour that some children experience. Knowing what strategies are used to protect them from this behaviour, whilst following procedures, is essential to helping those affected. You will also learn about key aspects of parenting, such as parental rights and responsibilities, and promoting a healthy lifestyle for children.
