Safeguarding Children Level 3 Course

Safeguarding Children Level 3

A child’s safety and needs should always come first, and health and safety care staff should never put the needs of parents and carers before the safety and wellbeing of a child. Early Help is a solution-focused approach to child safeguarding which aims to meet the needs of the child at the earliest possible opportunity and with the least intrusive intervention possible.

The Caredemy Safeguarding Children Level 3 online course provides an overview of the assessment, evaluation and interventions related to safeguarding and child protection. It’s a CQC-compliant course which meets the outcomes of the Core Clinical Framework and also qualifies as CPD training.

The course includes clear and simple user-friendly training materials and is covered by our 14-day money-back satisfaction guarantee.

Who is Safeguarding Children Level 3 Suitable For?

This course is designed for those who work with children on a regular basis and are involved with assessment, planning, evaluation or intervention. 

It is suitable for both clinical and non-clinical health care workers and social care workers as well as those involved in youth services such as activity leaders and passenger transport services. It is also useful for people volunteering in the health and care sector.

The course can be included in an induction training programme for new staff and can also be used as refresher training or ongoing CPD training.

What Topics Does the Safeguarding Children Level 3 Course Cover?

This Safeguarding Children Level 3 online course provides health and social care staff with an overview of the assessment, evaluation and intervention procedures as they relate to child safeguarding and child protection.

Completing this course will allow you to understand the child and family-focused approach to identifying risk factors and signs of child maltreatment, together with the importance of early identification and intervention. You will also learn the forensic procedures used in the investigation of suspected child abuse and how misdiagnosis can be avoided.

The first unit of this Safeguarding Children Level 3 course focuses on the importance of the family in child safeguarding. You will learn the main principles behind Early Help and why it is so important, as well as actions you can take if the family doesn’t consent to early intervention.

The course guides you through the different levels of intervention and your professional responsibility to refer children who you believe are at risk or in need.

The course also covers the CAF (Common Assessment Framework) including the factors involved in it and the principles that underpin a successful assessment. These include the child’s emotional development, identity and social relationships including their relationship with their parents. 

Parenting attachment styles and family environment factors are dealt with in detail, as these can have a major impact on children at risk or in need. 

The final unit of the course covers the forensic procedures that are necessary in the event of a suspected case of physical or sexual abuse. This includes the processes and procedures for examining children who may have been abused. Communication is a vital part of this process and you will receive guidance on good communication and how to work with uncooperative children. 

The course details how to respond to parents and families who are not willing to cooperate and how to prevent professional collusion. And, you will also be shown how to escalate concerns about a child at risk and how to work with multi-agency groups to improve safeguarding outcomes.
