What Others Are Saying

This course has helped me to think about safeguarding within the context of my own work, rather than all purely in a theoretical sense.

I'm so glad I now have a clearer understanding of the different categories of abuse for adults and children, including up-to-date information & revised government guidance that I wasn't aware of. The section about managing disclosures was also clear and well set out.

I loved the interactive stuff to reflect on my own practice. This course is thorough, but digestible. Highly relevant for the Heritage sector.
