Child Protection Training
Overview
Investing in Child Protection Training is a fundamental requirement for any professional working with children. This program ensures that staff are not only aware of their moral duties but are also technically equipped to intervene when a child’s safety is at risk.
The training focuses on the rigorous standards of “Safeguarding,” moving beyond basic awareness to provide clear, actionable protocols. By the end of the session, your team will have the confidence to act as a shield for young patients, ensuring the organisation remains a safe, compliant, and trusted environment.
