Statutory & Mandatory Training: Safeguarding Children and Young People Level 3

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. This level 3 course enables those working with children and young people to recognise the signs of abuse or neglect and know how to act and respond in potential safeguarding scenarios. The information contained within can prove beneficial to both individuals and organisations working with children. This training material is aimed at professionals working with children and young people and includes sections for protection issues, legislation surrounding vulnerable children, abuse indicators, and the responsibilities contained within safeguarding practices.

By the end of this course, learners will be able to do the following:

• Know about child protection issues, including definitions, indicators, legislation, guidance and processes.
• Understand the importance of children’s rights as reflected in legislation and key statutory and non-statutory guidance.
• Understand what is meant by child development in the context of safeguarding.

• Have a greater awareness of the potential risk factors which may increase the likelihood of abuse in children’s lives.
• Have a greater understanding of the additional vulnerabilities of looked-after children as a result of their experiences of abuse in childhood, and know best how to support them and meet their needs (or to achieve stability and recover from abuse).
