The course content is fully endorsed by Cache (the Council for Awards in Care, Health, and Education) the leading specialist awarding organisation for the care and education sector.
The course is broken down into three parts. You will have the opportunity to watch video clips, download resources, reflect on your practice, read practical examples, and check your understanding. The information, extra information links and activities provided are designed to offer practical ideas to promote further thinking/reflective practice about safeguarding children.

Coram PACEY’s Safeguarding children for Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) course fulfils these requirements. In every setting, a practitioner must be designated to take lead responsibility for safeguarding children. In childminding settings, the childminder is the Designated Safeguarding Lead.
