Safeguarding Children Training Reviews

My one reservation is that the acting in the various situations was unconvincing. It was all too obvious that what was being shown was contrived. I realise that, given the nature of the course, realism would not be appropriate, but it could have been better done. For example, there was a situation where a girl had her head on the desk and the teacher was wondering what to do. There appeared to be nobody else in the room. And when a boy came to talk to a teacher on a confidential matter, the door was left open, for all passers-by to hear what was being said.

As a school governor it is critical to understand the breadth and depth regarding one's responsibilities in safeguarding children and I feel this course has given me the knowledge and capability to undertake my duties.

This user gave this course a rating of 4/5 stars

it was concise and to the point, would recommend to anyone that has a responsibility to looking after children.

The presenter delivered the course content in a user friendly way, not easy to do with such an information based content. The structure developed the sections well in a logical sequence. I would have preferred the test to have been in sections after each topic so that it was a test of understanding rather than a memory test.

Just one area of ambiguity was whether to report to the DSL first or write the report. I chose to inform the DSL which was incorrect. As a supply teacher one has to be extra careful here as some senior management may feel you are going above them by writing a report first prior to discussing it with them in the first place. This was my only incorrect answer and I answered it as a visitor/temporary teacher to the school.

Very happy I passed this and gained this course for working with kids it was upsetting to watch at times but so worth doing thanku
