The workshop is an introductory course that aims to promote different means to safeguard children. It is designed to raise awareness to the different types of abuse and the likely signs and indicators of abuse. The workshop also aims to give participants the tools and confidence to deal with a concern, in an appropriate, effective and sensitive manner, should the need arise.
