Every school class is likely to have at least one pupil with allergies. The most serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) usually begins within minutes and is potentially life-threatening. Unfortunately, there have been cases of fatal anaphylaxis happening when a child is at school. Lessons learnt from these tragic cases emphasise the need for all school staff to be able to recognise the signs of an allergic reaction and have the confidence to manage this.

We encourage a whole school allergy awareness approach. Our AllergyWise® for Schools online training course for all school staff includes lesson resource packs to help educate your pupils about allergies.

Understanding Safeguarding and Prevent - Level 2 Certificate - Distance Learning Havant - Skills Network HD-USPR2C-G(2224)000

Overview

In 2014, it became a requirement for every education provider and certain authorities to promote British Values. Promoting British Values enables individuals to prevent Radicalisation and Extremism. In 2017, there were 412 arrests for terrorism-related offences, therefore, it is more important than ever to be informed on the measures that can be taken to help prevent terrorism and promote Safeguarding and British Values in society.

This course is ideal for you if you wish to increase your awareness and understanding of the issues surrounding Prevent, including radicalisation, extremism, propaganda, social media, and the promotion of British Values, such as democracy and the rule of law. You will also learn more about safeguarding and the legislation relating to it.

A requirement for the course is that you have a minimum of Level 1 in English and Mathematics or be prepared to sit an English and Mathematics assessment to establish your current levels. Please discuss any queries regarding your English and Mathematics with us because all applications will be considered on an individual basis.

Unit 1: Understanding the Prevent Duty

Unit 2: Understanding Safeguarding

Unit 3: Online Safety

All learning will take place using an interactive distance learning platform and an HSDC assessor will be on hand for any queries and will mark your assessments and provide you with feedback.

You will be assessed through online assessment.

On completion of this course, you will be workplace ready or have enhanced your existing work skills.

Child Protection: Children's Rights in Theory and Practice

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Across the world, children are at riskfrom violence, abuse, exploitation, and neglect. Conflict and natural disasters have forced millions to flee their homes and confront the dangers of migration and displacement. Commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking, child labor, and child marriage are problems in many countries. At-risk children and adolescents need their rights enforcedif we are to protect them from harm and to ensure that they develop to their full potential.

Led by Jacqueline Bhabha, Research Director of the Harvard FXB Center for Health and Human Rights, this course will teach you the causes and consequences of child protection failures. You will consider the strategies, international laws, standards, and resources required to protect all children. You will be able to link legal frameworks and child-rights approaches to the work of policymakers, lawyers, health workers, educators, law enforcement, and social workers. Learners will come to understand how they can ensure the protection of children and apply child protection strategies to their own work.

Join Harvard faculty, practitioners, and a global community of learners to master a child-centered systems approach to preventing and responding to violence, exploitation, and abuse against children.

Female Genital Mutilation: Recognising and Preventing FGM

A free online safeguarding training course developed for the Home Office by Virtual College. Over 100,000 people have so far registered for this course and 95% of those who have completed the course have said they would now do something differently in their role.

About this safeguarding course

A recent study revealed that 137,000 women in England and Wales are estimated to be living with the consequences of FGM. To address this issue, the Home Office is championing a proactive approach and has launched this free online FGM training package.

Throughout this course, we follow a young girl named Hope as she encounters the key issues relating to FGM and we see how they affect her throughout her life. The training will help a wide range of professionals to identify and assist girls who are at risk of FGM.

This course is useful for anyone who is interested in gaining an overview of FGM, particularly frontline staff in healthcare, police, border force and children's social care.

FGM (Abuse Linked to Faith or Belief)

If you want more information on FGM or forced marriage, Virtual College have produced a FGM (Abuse Linked to Faith or Belief) full course priced at £30. This course is specifically designed to help people coming into contact with young people and their families during the course of their work to promote good safeguarding practice, whilst being culturally aware.

Education for All: Disability, Diversity and Inclusion

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When we think about education for all. What is inclusion? Why discuss it? Inclusion is important because it implies an acceptance and a celebration of human diversity. It is about all of us. We need to contribute and participate and know that we're making a difference in our communities and in the lives of others. It is through inclusion that we achieve education for all children in all their diversity. In this course we'll focus on a particular aspect of diversity which is disability. We'll learn more about how our educational systems can adjust to welcome children with disabilities into schools and we'll also look at how the student can be supported to be, to participate, and to belong.

When my son was born we were told that he had a genetic syndrome, and words like 'mental retardation', 'developmental delay' were thrown at us. And this meant all our dreams for his future were shattered. And we had no idea what education would look like for him. But as he started growing and as we started hearing about what the options were, this idea of inclusion really appeal to us. The idea that Matt could be accepted for who he was in a every day government school where he could learn alongside the children from the community, and not segregated to a school for children with special needs. You do not have to be a well resourced school to make inclusion happen.

The three main resources you actually need are passion, commitment, and cooperation. What is amazing about inclusion is that when it is successful, it is beneficial to everyone who participated in making it happen. So this is what the course is about. We come together to engage and to explore proven ways of making inclusion happen, and in this way we further the goal of education for all.

Understanding ADHD: Current Research and Practice

Understanding ADHD: Current Research and Practice

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
ADHD is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood, affecting around five per cent of children and about two and a half per cent of adults worldwide. There's a common stereotype of a boy running around the classroom, but ADHD is actually much more complicated. And, often, more problematic than that. As well as being an issue itself, ADHD has been proven time and time again, to be a risk factor for issues with mental health. As well as educational and employment problems in later life. As well as other issues, such as substance abuse and getting into trouble with the authorities. In our course-

Understanding ADHD- we cover four broad areas: One, what is ADHD? What do we mean by symptom? And, what's a disorder? Two, what's it like to live with ADHD? Three, what do we know about the causes or risk factors, both genetic and environmental? And four, treatment- both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical. Many of our students are teachers, educators more generally, or parents themselves. And, consequently, we have included practical, evidence-based content throughout this course. So, alongside the latest research, we'll also follow the journey of several families who have children with ADHD, who join us to speak about when they first realised something wasn't right, right through to diagnosis and treatment. We also speak with a number of professionals who work with children with ADHD.

And when you hear these stories, you'll see that it's clear that whilst we are making progress, there's still some room for improvement. And we'll also address some of the controversies of ADHD. Like, why medication is often the go-to treat. The issue of side effects and the role of diet. So, join us over the next four weeks, as we take an evidence-based, practical tour through ADHD.
