All organisations have a responsibility to safeguard both their staff and other stakeholders. It is vital not only to comply with legal responsibilities, but to also use safeguarding as a means of creating an ethos of safety within an organisation. This can lead to happier and more productive staff, and enhanced reputation and confidence from clients and customers. We would recommend this course to anyone who wants to ensure that they understand the benefits of best practice in safeguarding, and it is particularly useful for those who work with vulnerable groups such as refugees, children, the disabled and the elderly.
Learners start and complete our distance learning courses every day, all year, so there is no need to wait until term begins. The courses are designed to be ready when you are, so you can fit it into your schedule.
Study takes place in an online virtual learning environment (VLE) which allows convenient and flexible learning. We recommend spending 6-8 hours studying per week to ensure that you meet your assignment deadlines.
Learners are paired with an experienced assessor and they submit work and are assessed online using the virtual learning environment e-Assessor Pro. Learners are given detailed feedback on their work by their assessors. Any reasonable adjustments to assessment arrangements are made on a person-by-person basis.
Our distance learning courses are planned to meet both local and national skills needs. These courses are ideal as additional development for professionals, or as introductions to topics and issues which are relevant to finding work or further training. Distance learning students are able to access careers advice via the college’s Student Services team. several of our courses complement each other and learners are able to study up to three courses each academic year (1st August-31st July).
Distance learning relies on communication between you and the college. We appreciate that learners with busy lives might face challenges in keeping up with their courses. All we ask is that learners stay in touch with us. Learners who don't risk being withdrawn from their courses.
