The Level 1 Award in Awareness of Safeguarding (RQF) is a foundational, half-day course designed to provide a basic introduction to protecting children, young people, and vulnerable adults.
Safeguarding is how we can protect children, young people and vulnerable adults from abuse or neglect by the actions, or lack of actions, of another person. In order to safeguard and protect persons from abuse or neglect, we need to learn how to identify vulnerable individuals and take necessary steps to stop abuse and neglect.
