Description

This course provides information on dealing with both Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) and Adult Sexual Exploitation (ASE). Aimed at those who work with vulnerable individuals, it includes guidance on grooming, trafficking, consent and reporting.

This course combines information on both Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) and Adult Sexual Exploitation (ASE), both how they differ and what they have in common.

Individuals and professionals who need to understand how to safeguard vulnerable children, young people and adults who are at risk of being sexually exploited will benefit greatly from this training. 

The aim of these modules is to give learners an awareness of what sexual exploitation is and how to identify it, whilst also describing the best practice of how to safeguard those who are at risk. 

This course covers a wide range of topics including:

  • The definition of both child and adult sexual exploitation (CSE and ASE) 
  • Ways in which people can be sexually exploited, and vulnerability factors 
  • Sexual offences
  • Sexual exploitation and consent
  • Indicator behaviours and signs
  • The impact of sexual exploitation 
  • Risk assessments
  • Grooming and trafficking
  • Up-to-date information and statistics
  • Supporting victims of sexual abuse, whether a child, an adult, or an adult sharing experiences of abuse as a child 
  • How to report instances of ASE and CSE. 

The course also includes infographics, interactive scenarios and challenges to engage learners whilst giving them the ability to check their knowledge as the course proceeds. 

There are also case studies within this training to help learners see how the lessons in this course can apply to a real-world scenario.

I recently completed the Food Hygiene course and found it very informative and easy to follow. The course explained important food safety practices clearly, including proper food handling, storage, cleaning, and preventing cross-contamination. The content was well-structured and practical, making it relevant for anyone working with food. I feel much more confident in understanding my responsibilities for maintaining high hygiene standards. Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their food safety knowledge.

Course was very in depth and brought out all salient points without it being too difficult to take in. I know this was an online course but it would be good if you could buy printed book detailing all that is on the course. This would make for easy reference when needed.
