Awareness of Child Protection

The Awareness of Child Protection module is designed to introduce key principles of safeguarding children and young people in Scotland. It provides foundational knowledge for anyone involved with children, highlighting their rights, the signs of abuse and neglect, and the responsibilities of individuals in promoting their safety and well-being. This module aims to equip learners with the understanding needed to contribute to a safe environment and respond appropriately if concerns arise.

By the end of the module, you will:

  • Understand what is meant by ‘it’s everyone’s responsibility to protect children’ and ‘Getting It Right For Every Child’
  • Be clear on your own professional responsibility in relation to child protection
  • Be more familiar with the signs, indicators and types of child abuse and neglect
  • Feel more confident about what to do if a child discloses abuse to you

For everyone who works with and for children and young people
