About
This course equips care workers with the knowledge and skills needed to work safely, ethically, and professionally in residential childcare. Learners will explore the meaning of a “position of trust,” the importance of professional boundaries, and how to maintain positive, safe relationships with children and young people. The course covers key UK legislation, including the Children Acts 1989 and 2004, Sexual Offences Act 2003, Children’s Homes Regulations 2015, and statutory safeguarding guidance. Practical strategies, reflective exercises, and case studies will help learners recognise abuse, manage challenging situations, and understand their safeguarding responsibilities. By the end of the course, participants will be confident in applying professional standards, maintaining boundaries, and upholding the trust placed in them, ensuring the welfare and safety of the children in their care.
