Program Description

This training program equips professionals working with adolescents and young adults with essential safeguarding competencies. Tailored specifically for educators, teaching assistants, social care workers, administrators, and safeguarding personnel, the curriculum addresses critical risks including relationship abuse, substance dependency, and unplanned teenage pregnancy.

Across five structured learning modules, participants examine statutory definitions, legal frameworks, and protective factors associated with teenage welfare. Key topics explore diverse forms of abuse, ranging from coercive control and emotional mistreatment to physical exploitation, as well as the dynamics of bullying, the risks of alcohol and drug misuse, and targeted strategies for supporting young people vulnerable to harm.

Delivered through a flexible digital format, this intermediate CPD-certified course integrates engaging video sequences, interactive knowledge assessments, and realistic case studies. Participants analyze complex scenarios that bridge theoretical guidance and frontline practical interventions, concluding with an instantly downloadable digital certificate of completion.
