Foundation - Awareness of Child Abuse and Neglect. This is my experience of doing the course:
They say it takes on average around 2 hours but I spent about 3 hours spread over two days. You can take longer if you wish, it's entirely at your own pace and you can save it and return at the same point later. I found it easy to follow and the instructions were clear. The information is presented in different ways - you listen, read and take small tests along the way.
Although I had done Child Protection Courses in the past I still found there were some things I'd either forgotten or didn't know. I think it would be a great introduction for anyone who has had no Child Abuse Awareness training.You can go back through the training at any point if you feel you want to refresh your memory.
- At the end of the course you should be able to:
- Understand the various types of child abuse and neglect
- Identify the signs and what to look for
- Know how to ask questions if you suspect a child is being abused
- know what steps to take if you suspect abuse is happening
- know what happens after a referral is made to Children's Service (Social Care)
- Know what to do if a child or an adult discloses abuse
At the end of the training and once you are confident to take it, there is a test, mainly multiple choice.
You need 75% to pass, if you fail you can go back to the training and continue until you feel happy to try again. When you pass you are then directed to a print page where you can print off a certificate.
Works on both PC and Apple Macintosh/OSX
