Key Features
Instructional Design
Our unique instructional design was written to meet the learning needs of the diverse adult volunteers that work with children. We developed a learner profile that takes into account their varied educational experiences and literacy levels, their diverse cultural backgrounds, and their range of knowledge in Child Protection, eLearning, and professional development.
Our course delivers Child Protection content that uses:
- A concept focused approach
- A multimodal approach that includes visual, auditory, and textual content
- An interface accessible to all literacy levels
- A quizzing system that focuses on engagement, not assessment
Every learner receives the same learning experience regardless of language.
Course Content
Our Child Protection Training for Volunteers course was developed in partnership with Chris Gould of 112 Safeguarding. It was built upon the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The course aligns to international Child Protection training standards and legal frameworks.
Our course covers:
Part 1 – What is Child Protection?
Part 2 – Child Protection Practices in Our Organization
Part 3 – Your Role in Child Protection
Part 4 – Your Behaviors and Actions Around Children
Part 5 – Your Duty of Care
To complete the introduction, 5 parts of the course, the case study, quiz and the course review takes 40-50 minutes.

Case Studies
Our Child Protection Training for Volunteers includes case studies that provide authentic learning experiences that meet the needs of volunteers working with children of various ages.
The case studies include questions to help deepen learning and a review of key takeaways.
We also offer a menu of case studies to ensure the learning experiences match the needs of the learner. Volunteers can choose from case studies designed for the age of children they typically work with:
- 5 Years Old and Younger
- 6 to 9 Years Old
- 10 to 13 Years Old
- 14 Years Old and Older
The case studies are drawn from real events. They provide the learner an opportunity to apply their Child Protection knowledge and reflect on what they may have done in that situation.
Once the learner completes a case study, they will be given the opportunity to go through another if they are interested.
Customization
Our platform allows organizations to include their logo and customized reporting information that is presented in the course in line with the rest of the content.
The organization logo is added to the Certificate of Completion to show the course was completed in connection with the organization.
This custom reporting information is presented in the course and on the Certificate of Completion. This allows learners to read the organization’s reporting information and to keep a written reference for future use.
As an example of reporting information, if an organization has a Designated Safeguarding Lead that should be contacted for Child Protection reports, the organization can add that person’s name, job title, and contact information to the course.
This customized logo and reporting information is presented live. If the organization updates this information, it will be updated on all subsequent sessions and certificates, even those that are reprinted.
Our Certificates of Completion are valuable learning artifacts for both learners and organizations.
- The Certificate is valid for 2 years
- It contains important information from the course and the organization’s custom reporting information
- It is presented in the language used in the course
- It is accessible at any time using the Learner Code from the course
- It can be printed, downloaded, or emailed as well as shared to LinkedIn, Facebook, and X
The language of the certificate can be changed. For example, if an organization has learners that complete the course in multiple languages, they can download copies in English for internal records or in another language to meet local legal requirements.
All certificates can be authenticated through our verification system.
Device Accessibility
Our learning platform is accessible on-demand through any internet enabled device, including computers, laptops, tablets, and phones. It is adaptive to mobile devices both in portrait and landscape mode.
The platform is purely web based accessible on any browser. There are no software or apps to install.

eLearning Experience
Our bespoke eLearning platform was developed to provide access to our course to all learners.

The learning interface is designed for universal understanding, including buttons that use basic shapes and primary colors and labels and subtitles presented in the language of instruction.
