The new HSCB Safeguarding Children E-Learning Basic Awareness Course has been designed to provide an awareness of safeguarding children to all those working with children, young people and adults who may be parents/carers. The course takes about 60-90 minutes to complete. It has been produced for us by a training company called Aspire and is available to all agencies working with children, young people and their parents/carers in Hampshire. The course has been funded through the HSCB partnership funding and is therefore available at no additional cost to the user.
On completion of the course, learners will:
· Understand their role and responsibilities with regard to safeguarding children
· Be familiar with the legal framework that relates to safeguarding children
· Understand the concepts of confidentiality and disclosure
· Be familiar with key policies and procedures
· Be familiar with key definitions, signs and indicators of abuse
· Be familiar with factors that may increase risk to children and families
The course content is as follows:
1) Introduction
2) Legislation and Guidance
3) Local Safeguarding Children Boards
4) Roles and Responsibilities
5) Definitions, Signs and Indicators
6) Particularly Vulnerable Children
7) Managing Individual Cases
8) Useful Links and further support available
To access the e-learning course
Please contact the Hampshire County Council Children's Services Workforce Development Team by e-mailing your name, organisation and a suggested personal password to cs.nominations@hants.gov.uk You will be given a web link which will enable you to access the course immediately after enrolment. On successful completion of the course you will be able to print a certificate.
User progress will be monitored by Children’s Services and reports on usage will be available to your organisation through regular reports to the HSCB.
In exceptional circumstances, where a learner does not have on-line access to enable them to do the e-learning course, a printable workbook is available for managers to use with their staff. Please note that this requires rather more input from managers than the e-learning course, for example marking the assessment tests and issuing the certificates on successful completion. To register your interest in this, please contact cs.nominations@hants.gov.uk or phone 01962 715669.
