Vulnerable Children-Online Safeguarding Children Training

  Vulnerable Children Our study will focus on children, their vulnerability and the need for them to be protected in a range of community, care, education and other supported environments. Vulnerable children do not understand the meaning or implications of their vulnerability. Adults are physically stronger and have a far greater experience of life; as such, they are in a position of power. When an adult deliberately sets out to harm or abuse a child, he or she will use this power to persuade the child to act against his or her will. Adults therefore are easily able to harm or take advantage of children. Every one of us was once a child, and so from this personal experience, whether good or bad, can understand the importance of protecting children.  All children have the basic human right to be free from harm and to develop and grow up in a secure environment.

The Protection The protection of children starts with the early recognition of vulnerability.  It is important to remember that all vulnerable children need to be protected from harm. The key factor in the protection of vulnerable children is the recognition of the signs of abuse and neglect. A change in the child’s behaviour is often an early sign that something is wrong. The presence of a single change in behaviour does not prove the existence of abuse or harm, however, when such behavioural changes appear repeatedly or in combination, the situation must be examined more closely, and the possibility of harm or abuse considered. Child protection is everyone’s business because of the shocking consequences abuse has on children of all ages, and the damage it causes to adult survivors for the rest of their lives.  It causes a great deal of anxiety to the victim and the other people involved.  If there is a suspicion that a child is being harmed, reporting the suspic...

When approaching the casualty, you should first think about your safety, the safety of the casualty and anyone else around you.  Is there anything that will cause you or anyone else further harm i.e., Vehicles, fire, equipment, falling debris?  If you are to touch the casualty you may need to wear gloves or a face shield if performing CPR or getting close to them to check if they are breathing.  Do you have access to a first aid kit, a defibrillator and phone?  Are there any bystanders to assist you.  Do we know the casualty’s name – is anyone with them?  Are they an adult or child?  In the current climate you may wish to think about covid – obviously we do not want you to place yourself under unnecessary risk by placing yourself close to the casualty, this is why we use face shields and face masks.  However, if the casualty is not breathing you will need to perform CPR which involves mouth to mouth.  This is your choice of course but a vit...
