Protecting children e-learning module
Argyll & Bute Child Protection Committee expects that all staff and volunteers working with children and young people have, as a minimum, foundation knowledge of child protection.
An e-learning module is available which offers essential information on child protection issues for those who are waiting to start their training with us, or who only require basic level information in recognizing and reporting situations where there might be a need for protection.
