Description

Child Neglect Certification

Unfortunately, neglect is one of the hardest forms of child abuse to recognise, as it can appear subtly. In addition, many children who are neglected hide it as best they can, especially as they get older, and conditions worsen. Being able to identify the risk factors, signs and symptoms of child neglect can help you keep the children in your life safe.

This course goes into detail about child neglect. We begin by talking about the basic forms of neglect, including physical, emotional and educational, and how they manifest.

Next, we review the factors that may mean that a child is at a higher risk of being neglected than their peers.

A discussion of the warning signs of neglect, including the emotional and behavioural changes that a neglected child may exhibit, follows.

Finally, we review the best practices to keep in mind when responding to disclosures, as well as how you can report your concerns to the authorities.

What the long-term effects of child neglect are
How to identify children who are at risk by their behaviour and the situation
The factors that impact how a person responds to child neglect
The signs and symptoms that mean that you need to examine a child’s situation in closer detail

Learning more about the importance of reporting your concerns immediately
Understanding how neglect occurs and what the risk factors are
Being able to confidently look out for the children in your life whom you care about

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
