Safeguarding Online Learning
The SSCB Training and Development Service has been involved in developing an e-learning module and on-line assessment to provide a flexible delivery route for Basic Awareness of Child Protection and Safeguarding Children. The training is hosted by Virtual College, one of the UK’s leading e-learning sites and was originated by Bradford Safeguarding Children Board. There are currently 3 online courses available, details below:
The Awareness of Child Abuse & Neglect - Short Foundation course can be taken to demonstrate evidence of undertaking the Short Introduction level of the SSCB Training Strategy and is suitable for staff who may see particular children and/or their parents and carers, but have no on-going relationship with them.

The Awareness of Child Abuse & Neglect - Core Introduction course can be taken to demonstrate evidence undertaking one element of the Introduction Level of the SSCB Training Strategy and is suitable for those who work regularly with children and young people and with adults who are parents and/or carers, and who may need to contribute to assessments of children in need.
