Continuing Professional Development: Protecting the vulnerable

A training company consulted widely on the content of its vulnerable children course, says Karen Faux.

Health and Safety Solutions North West is currently fine-tuning a new range of courses to help nurseries successfully implement the revised EYFS and meet the Safeguarding and Welfare Requirements. These courses have been devised after discussion with local authorities and local nurseries to identify any gaps in knowledge.

Supporting Vulnerable Children in Childcare Settings will be of particular interest to private providers offering the free entitlement for two-year-olds.

Rachel Buckler, managing director, Health and Safety Solutions (NW) - Safeguarding Training, says, 'The course approaches the subject from a wide perspective and has been written by practitioners from the fields of education, health and social care in order to present a holistic approach that supports the needs of children in their most formative years. It will enable staff to gain a wider understanding of both children and parents who may experience complex needs and face significant challenges. It will certainly benefit settings that are in receipt of funded places for two-year-olds, where eligibility criteria comes into play.'
