Child Abuse Prevention

Protecting children is the role and responsibility of every adult. Be it in or outside of school, educators need to be aware of red flags indicating a child is being abused. The course Child Abuse Prevention tackles this very sensitive issue and aims to equip teachers with the essentials of recognizing and preventing abuse to maintain safe and secure learning environments. 

Every educator should be aware of the different signs, symptoms and indicators of suspected child abuse and trafficking and this is the focus of SECTION A, Child Abuse Prevention. The course helps educators understand risk factors for abuse and trafficking, as well as how an educator can respond when they see signs that are concerning.
