Excellent course. Comprehensive & modern
The 'Safeguarding Children' Training was an excellent course, providing a comprehensive and modern exploration of the types of child abuse and neglect and the wide range to situations where this can take place. The impact of the risks of the internet, social media and telephones as well as modern day slavery/child trafficking for children and young people were areas which were well explored. The additional content pages and links were also very informative. Thank you!

Very thorough and informative course
I was surprised just how many types of child exploitation and bullying there are. I thought that I already knew pretty much most things about safeguarding that there were to know, having completed several training courses on this previously over the years, but I was unaware that some of the things that I have seen on the news over the past few years have now become more commonplace, and are, actually, now posing more of a risk to our younger people. The course was clear to understand and follow, extremely informative and I feel that I know how to respond with confidence, if faced myself with any safeguarding situation in school or college, as I work in both settings currently. One criticism that I have, however, if I may, is that I found it took a lot of time to work through properly and diligently. It was difficult to take so much content in in one session, and I found I needed to have regular breaks and come back to the course over a period of days, in order to stay fresh and focused on the various topics. But on balance, in view of the importance of this training, it is probably necessary for it to be so long. I found the Respond, Report sections excellent.
A very good course
It makes you aware of issues children face just growing up !
Training was too long
Although you were able to stop and start this training, I felt it was too long and felt it hard to stay focused.
Very informative
A good course and learned a great deal.
Need more on children with disabilities
Too often a diagnosis of disability, clouds the workers thinking about the child possibly being at risk of abuse or abused. Particularly when there are social and health development issues, and the child or young person's cognition is impaired – disclosure may be recognised through play and concerning common signs are blighted by the worker not thinking critically or trusting their gut feeling.
The training was interesting and informa

comprehensive and accessible
You deal with core issues in safeguarding really well – but also I appreciated the gentle pastoral care for the staff member that ran all through the presentations.
Very clear and concise
