This safeguarding course delves into the topic of child sexual abuse (CSA) and outlines its definitions, dynamics, signs, impacts, types and myths. We provide the knowledge you need to effectively identify signs of abuse, report suspicions, support victims, challenge myths and implement prevention strategies. Our objective is to ensure children's wellbeing, protection and safety by helping you to recognise warning signs and grooming behaviours. We identify ‘red flags’ and tactics employed by perpetrators, thus empowering you to trust your instincts and take action when you think it is needed.
This safeguarding course offers guidance on establishing safe environments, screening processes, educational initiatives, fostering a safety culture and engaging parents, caregivers and the community to prevent child sexual abuse. We emphasise the importance of open conversations with children about safety, teaching personal boundaries, consent and appropriate touch. We also explain how to educate children about emotions, boundaries and privacy. The course also equips you with the skills required to effectively respond to disclosures with compassion, including empathetic listening, documentation, reporting, seeking support and collaborating with authorities and the community.
