Why is This Course Important


In the United Kingdom and many other countries, schools with students under the age of 18 have a legal ‘duty of care’ to safeguard those students. Therefore it is compulsory for everyone working with the organisation to understand safeguarding and their ‘duty of care’ responsibilities. The training starts here with this specially designed course.

In this course, you will be introduced to:

  • Safeguarding
  • Child Protection
  • Recognising and Responding to Abuse
  • The Government’s ‘Prevent’ Strategy

” … safeguarding children is one of the most valuable things we do for international students in the UK; it is very important that we get it right… “

FAQ


Why is this course important for people working with ELT organisations in UK?

Every ELT organisation with students under the age of 18 has a legal ‘duty of care’ to safeguard those students. Everyone working with the organisation needs to understand safeguarding and their ‘duty of care’ responsibilities. The training starts here with this specially designed course.

There are many UK laws connected to safeguarding; the main ones are covered in the training. Knowing what is acceptable in law for children and for adults is essential, especially because ELT has international students and group leaders who may not be familiar with UK.

Safeguarding is one of the most important things we do for children; it has to be done properly.
