North Lanarkshire Child Protection Self Learning Pack

We support all of those working with children and young people to have, as a minimum a ‘foundation’ knowledge of child protection that allows them to recognise and respond to concerns about a child.

This self-learning pack forms part of our earning and development materials.

It offers essential information on child protection issues for those who may not need to attend a learning and development event but require foundation-level information to carry out their work, or are waiting to start their learning and development with us.

The contents of the pack should always be treated as first-step information for those with an interest in this area and does not replace the need to take the further learning steps you may need.
