Course Content
Our Child Protection Training for Board Members, Owners, and Senior Leaders course was developed in partnership with Chris Gould of 112 Safeguarding.

Part 3 – Roles and Responsibilities
Part 4 – Child Protection Resources
The course includes activities and a case study, presented in sections throughout the course.

The case study is presented in three sections across the course. In each part, the learner will learn more about the situation and why it requires the attention of Governance and Leadership.
After completing the course, the learner is given a study guide for the case that they can use for ongoing and collaborative learning with their colleagues.

The Case Study provides opportunity to discuss how the team would manage, respond, and attempt to resolve the Child Protection crisis situation it presents.
