An Introduction to Child Protection Officer Training

Child protection in education is important because it ensures the safety, welfare, and well-being of children while they are in school. We begin this course by understanding the differences between safeguarding children and child protection. We then explain how local authorities deal with concerns about child protection. We provide you with answers to questions such as ‘What is a child protection plan?’ and ‘How does the child protection system work?’.

This course demonstrates the importance of understanding changes in child protection legislation. We can help you gain knowledge regarding the principles of information sharing in the UK. This course will end by providing you with answers to questions like "How can you report child abuse successfully in the UK?" and "What are the main types of child abuse?"

We outline the fundamental concepts you need to understand about child protection in the United Kingdom. We explain how to start and build a career as a child protection officer. Sign up to understand these concepts and learn how to apply the legislation governing child protection in the UK.
