Safeguarding Children Awareness eLearning

Safeguarding Awareness Online Training 

**PLEASE NOTE - DO NOT BOOK IF A COUNCIL EMPLOYEE AS YOU ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THIS COURSE VIA YOUR 'MY LEARNING' ACCOUNT**

Safeguarding the children in our borough is really important and each organisation has a part to play. To help your staff be better informed the SCP have developed a Safeguarding Awareness E-learning course which all partners can use as part of their Mandatory (required) training programme. 

Please note, this course will replace the SCP's existing course that can be received upon request. 

About the course 

All staff within every organisation must have training on how to safeguard children. This training is provided free of charge by the St Helens Safeguarding Children Partnership (SCP) and provides a basic understanding of Safeguarding Children.

Individual staff will require different levels of competence depending upon their role and degree of contact with children, young people and families, the nature of their work and their level of responsibility.  

However, this basic safeguarding children awareness e-learning course will offer every staff member the following: 

• Know what to do if there is a child protection concern involving a child or family, 
• Recognise any indicators of abuse, 
• Know the referral process and procedures for their own organisation; knowing whom to contact within their organisation, in order to communicate their concerns.

Accessing the E-learning course:

You must have a registered training account on the SCP website in order to book a place and later receive your certificate on completion.

Please note this is a virtual training course and will take approximately 1 hour to complete. It can be done at your own pace.

(Once you login you can book a course date and complete the training on the day of your choice anytime within the 8:00 to 21:00 time frame.)
