An Introduction to Safeguarding Children

Voices Northumberland supports third sector organisations and groups (voluntary and community, charities, social enterprises, cooperatives) to achieve positive outcomes for all children and young people.

What would you pay to keep a child safe?

If your primary area of work or volunteering is with babies, children or young people then this is the safeguarding course for you.

This course builds on the course ‘an awareness of safeguarding adults and children’ and explores in more detail: communicating with children in difficult situations, thinking about the needs of children with additional needs, consolidating skills in recognising abuse and responding to concerns and current hot topics in Northumberland.
