Course Content
Our Level 1 – Fundamental Child Protection Training for Employees (Non-Educators) 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 – Child Protection and Your Duty of Care
Part 2 – Abuse Types, Behaviors, and Indicators
Part 3 – Concerns, Disclosures, and Your Responsibilities
Each part of the course includes sections of the case study, activities, and a knowledge check.
After the learner has completed the 3 parts, they will go through a course review and then be taken to the Final Assessment.
In order to pass the course and receive their Certificate of Achievement, the learner must achieve 80% correct on the Final Assessment.
The course takes about 2 hours to complete.

Case Studies
Our Level 1 – Fundamental Child Protection Training for Employees (Non-Educators) course includes in-depth case studies that provide authentic learning experiences that meet the needs of adults working in organizations that serve children of various ages.
The case studies are presented in sections across the three parts of the course. In each part, the learner will engage in the case from the point of view of someone involved.
Part 1 – The viewpoint of the adult.
Part 2 – The viewpoint of the child.
Part 3 – The viewpoint of the organization.
We also offer a menu of case studies to ensure the learning experiences match the needs of the learner. They can choose from case studies designed for:
- Children 5 Years Old and Younger
- Children 6 to 9 Years Old
- Children 10 to 13 Years Old
- Children 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.
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 presented during the course when we discuss reporting Child Protection concerns at the organization.
The organization logo is also added to the Certificate of Achievement to show the course was completed in connection with the organization.
This custom reporting information is presented multiple times during the course. This allows learners to read the school’s reporting information and have it reinforced to them to report using the organization’s Child Protection reporting system..
As an example of reporting information, if a school has a Designated Safeguarding Lead that should be contacted for Child Protection reports, the school can add that person’s name, job title, and contact information to the course.
This customized logo and reporting information is presented live. If a school updates this information, it will be updated on all subsequent sessions and certificates, even those that are reprinted.
If learners successfully pass the Final Assessment, they will earn their Certificate of Achievement.
- The certificate is valid for up to 2 years
- It is presented in the language used in the course
- It is accessible at any time by clicking on the certificate link in the learner’s dashboard or Learner section of the organization’s dashboard
- It can be printed, downloaded, or emailed as well as shared to LinkedIn, Facebook, and X
- Cannot be altered

- Can be shared on documents, professional profiles, and social networks, such as LinkedIn
Languages
A central focus of ChildSafeguarding.com is to make Child Protection training accessible to learners in multiple languages.
We present the course in these languages:
- At the point of entry to the course
- Throughout the course, in text, audio, and subtitles
- On all buttons, labels, webpages, and emails
- In the Knowledge Checks and Final Assessment
- On the Certificate of Achievement
Our aim is that learners taking the course have their entire experience presented in their language of choice, without the need for accommodation of English.
Our translations are done by educators because educators not only understand the language and the Child Protection content, but they also understand the context of teachers working with children.

Connections
Every learner who takes the course needs to register an account on our platform. This is true for individuals who purchased the course for themselves and those using an organization’s credits to take the course.
Learners using an organization’s credits need to connect their account to the organization.
When a learner is connected to your organization:
- The learner can use credits the organization purchased to take the course.
- The organization can terminate any in-progress session that uses their credits.
- The organization will see all of the learner’s certificate and in-progress session information, including information that does not involve the organization’s credits. This allows the organization to see certificates the learner earned outside the organization.
Either the learner or the organization may disconnect at any time. Once disconnected, the learner will retain their certificate.
Visit the Connections section of the ChildSafeguarding.com dashboard for more information.
