As the world changes, children and young people are exposed to new and different risks to their health and well-being. It has never been more important to equip ourselves with the ability to recognise a child in trouble and understand the ways in which we can help safeguard them.

This Safeguarding Children Level 1 course, developed by industry training experts Espirita Learning, is designed for all non-clinical staff who work within healthcare and addresses the legislation surrounding child protection. By creating an educated, competent and committed workforce of vigilant practitioners, we can stop vulnerable children from ‘slipping through the net’.
