New E-learning Safeguarding course

We now have access to an e-learning course that has been purchased by Hampshire Safeguarding Children Board. This course will not replace the existing programme but it will give you a basic understanding of safeguarding prior to booking on the SfYC ICP/ACP training courses. The places are limited, as access has been given all departments within Children's services.

Hampshire Safeguarding Children Board - New Safeguarding Children E-Learning Basic Awareness Course

The new HSCB Safeguarding Children E-Learning Basic Awareness Course has been designed to provide an awareness of safeguarding children to all those working with children, young people and adults who may be parents/carers. The course takes about 60-90 minutes to complete. It has been produced for us by a training company called Aspire and is available to all agencies working with children, young people and their parents/carers in Hampshire. The course has been funded through the HSCB partnership funding and is therefore available at no additional cost to the user.
