Teachers in many countries are required by law to report certain types of child abuse and neglect to relevant child protection authorities. Some nations are on the cusp of introducing mandatory reporting obligations, or have policy-based duties for reporting. All teachers can benefit from increased awareness and understanding of their roles in child protection.
This course will enable you to recognise the signs of child abuse and neglect, and learn how maltreatment impacts on children’s learning and development. It will also help you to understand your role as a reporter.
What topics will you cover?
- The warning signs and indicators of different types of child abuse and neglect
- The roles of teachers and other professionals in recognising and reporting suspected cases of child abuse and neglect
- Key elements of child protection legislation and policy
- Characteristics of effective school-based prevention programs
Approx. 2 weeks, 1 hour per week to complete.
