We know our youth face particular challenges; online risks, peer on peer abuse, domestic abuse, neglect and more. As professionals we need to be aware of the current landscape to be able to identify vulnerabilities and intervene early to protect children and young people.

We understand it can be difficult to know exactly what you need to do, and have an overview about local and national guidance.

If you, or your organisation works with young people then you need to make sure you've got the right policies and procedures in place. Gain the safeguarding skills you need to act appropriately and confidently to protect the young people you work with.

This one day face-to-face training course will teach you how to recognise, respond, report, record and refer concerns.
