This Level 2 course is aimed at those who have an interest or are already working in local authorities, schools, colleges, uniformed services or health and social care. It allows you to be more aware of the importance of Safeguarding and the Prevent Duty and how to include these principles in your day-to-day work practices. It will give you a greater awareness of the Safeguarding and the Prevent Duty, how to monitor safeguarding when online and the responsibilities and procedures involved. It will also give you a clearer understanding and how to raise concerns effectively.

Unit 01 – Understanding the Prevent Duty

Unit 02 – Understanding Safeguarding

Unit 03 – Understanding Online Safety

These three units combine to form a knowledge-only qualification aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of Prevent duties, safeguarding practices, and digital safety—especially valuable for those working in care, education, or community environments.

This course is delivered on a flexible learning basis. This means that most of your study will take place away from the classroom/assessor.
