Introduction

Welcome to the City of York and North Yorkshire Safeguarding Children Boards’ Basic Awareness Training.

The Safeguarding Children Boards are multi agency forums comprising the agencies, organisations and professional groups responsible for helping to protect the City of York (CYSCB) and North Yorkshire’s (NYSCB) children from abuse and neglect.

This training package is aimed at individuals in organisations and voluntary groups who work with children and young people and/or their families, to give a basic awareness of child protection issues. Depending on your role, this may be the only level of training you need, although some people will need further training. Details of other training courses will be found on this website.

Course Sign Up

Choose a username and password - these can be any of your choosing but do keep a record of them as you have seven days to complete the training but you will need your username and password to return to the same point in the course.

The training package is arranged in four sections:

1. The Basics: 
2. Recognising Abuse;
3. What Action to Take; 
4. Guidelines for Good Practice.

At the end of each section, there are some questions to ensure that you have understood that section. When you have successfully completed all four sections, you will be able to print out your Certificate of Completion. (Your computer will need to be attached to a printer).

It is recommended that you repeat Child Protection Basic Awareness Training every 3 years. This training package will be updated as necessary to take account of local and national policy changes. Alternatively you may prefer to attend multi agency Basic Awareness training run by the Safeguarding Board in your area. Details of North Yorkshire’s/ City of York’s training are on this website.

You can navigate through the course by using the “Next” and “Previous” buttons at the bottom of the page. Each button will have a label next to it, to show what the next/previous page contains. You can check to see what section you are in by looking at the bottom of the page.

When you have correctly answered all the questions and finished all four stages, you can print out a Certificate of Completion.
