Course description
An online training course for people, who as part of their job enter homes to undertake their work or deliver their service
Do you feel confident enough to trust your instincts and senses if you witness signs of child abuse or neglect? Do you know how to act on these concerns and report possible signs of child abuse?
The NSPCC have produced this 15-minute interactive online learning course to help workers who enter or have access to people’s homes to:
- recognise the signs of possible abuse and neglect
- encourage them to report concerns either through their work channels, the NSPCC helpline, or if the concern is urgent, the police
- support those who may have already witnessed signs of child abuse know what to do about it and provide advice
Protecting children is everyone’s responsibility. Workers who visit or enter people’s homes may see or hear things that others may not. So whether you or your employees are electricians or plumbers, telecoms engineers, or builders, It’s your call highlights how to spot the signs of possible child abuse and what to then do.
