Child-on-Child Abuse Awareness

• What Child-on-Child Abuse Is
• The Forms It Takes
• Child-on-Child Abuse in the Early Years
• Normal Development or Harmful Behaviour?
• Understanding Harmful Sexual Behaviour

What your team takes away

• 13 lessons, 65 to 80 minutes. Short enough to finish in a sitting without disrupting the working day.
• Built from current guidance and written for the role rather than the theory, so it can be applied straight away.
• Interactive throughout, with a multiple choice assessment at the end. A certificate carrying its own reference number is issued on passing, and it can be verified online at any time.

How it runs

The course opens in a browser on a phone, a tablet or a desktop, with nothing to install. Progress is saved as it goes, so someone can stop and pick it back up. The assessment sits at the end, and passing it issues a certificate with its own reference number that an inspector or an auditor can check.

Who it is for
