Level Two Certificate in Understanding Safeguarding and Prevent

This qualification is aimed at anyone who has a responsibility for safeguarding children, young people or vulnerable adults. It will be particularly useful for people working in a training /educational setting, youth workers, and those involved in the running of youth sports teams and community groups that support children and young people.

As well as attaining a nationally recognised qualification upon completion, you will gain a thorough understanding of the Prevent Duty and safeguarding. In terms of Prevent, candidates will explore the key themes of radicalisation, extremism and terrorism, and how to reduce the risk of radicalisation. In the safeguarding unit, you will look at how to recognise signs of abuse or potential harm and know how to respond if abuse or harm is disclosed, suspected or alleged. Finally, in the online safety unit, you will examine the potential consequences of inappropriate or illegal online activity, how to reduce the risks posed online, and how to spot signs and behavioural changes that could cause concern.

The course also provides employers with a structured training programme that will meet the training needs of their employees, giving peace of mind that staff are equipped with the knowledge they need to promote the safety and well-being of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
