In this course you will deepen your knowledge and understanding of the law, the victims, assessment  and intervention strategies, and the risks and responsibilities we all share.
Criminal Exploitation and County Lines e-learning We all play a role in our community to look out for exploitation, and understanding criminal exploitation,  including county lines, is crucial. This course will help you to become more aware of criminal exploitation and its different forms, and to understand what signs to look out for and how to respond.
Online Safety – Risk to Children e-learning To help identify the potential risks and being able to encourage responsible and safe use of the internet is vital to help safeguard children online.

Safeguarding for Managers – Level 3 For managers and Designated Leads who supervise staff that work with parents, carers, children and young people. It is also relevant for anyone who has a safeguarding responsibility within their job role.
