Teachers in many countries are required by law to report child abuse and neglect. Some nations are on the cusp of introducing mandatory reporting or have policy-based duties for reporting.

All teachers would benefit from child protection training, increasing their awareness and understanding of their roles in safeguarding children.

On this course, you will examine how to recognise the signs of child abuse and neglect, and learn how maltreatment impacts on children’s learning and development. You will also come to understand your role as a reporter of abuse and neglect.
