Did you know? 1 in 5 children in the UK have been exposed to domestic abuse. It’s crucial that we address this issue to protect the next generation. At Threshold, we offer safeguarding courses designed to equip individuals and organisations with the knowledge and tools to protect children and vulnerable adults. Let’s work together to break the cycle of violence and ensure a safer future for everyone. #WhiteRibbonDay #16DaysofActivism

The National Child Exploitation Awareness Day aims to highlight the issues surrounding Child Exploitation (CE); encouraging everyone to think, spot and speak out against abuse and adopt a zero-tolerance to adults developing inappropriate relationships with children or children exploiting and abusing their peers. Together, we can work to inform, educate and prevent child abuse through exploitation within the UK. Let's join hands to protect our children and ensure their safety online and offline. Together, we can create awareness, support organisations dedicated to child protection, and advocate for stronger measures against exploitation. Our collective efforts can make a difference in safeguarding the future generation. #ChildProtection #SafetyFirst

🔔 This week in our updated safeguarding series, we’re focusing on how to spot the signs of the different types of abuse that children can face. 🔔 We take an in-depth look at the key indicators that could suggest a child is at risk of harm or abuse, helping you identify the subtle signs that might otherwise go unnoticed. 🚸 It's crucial to understand these signs and stay informed so we can all do our part to protect children from abuse. 🙌 Watch now on our CPD platform My-Progression: https://lnkd.in/ey-hDErM #Safeguarding #SafeguardingTraining #SafeguardingAdvice #TeacherAdvice #SupplyTeacher #TeachingSupport #NewTeacherAdvice #CPD #EducationCPD #TeacherTraining #MyProgression #TeacherActive

Events can be risky environments for everyone, especially children, here’s why: 👉 Crowds: Large crowds pose additional risk for children as they can easily get lost or separated from their parents or caretakers. 👉 Adult Themes: Sometimes events exhibit adult content, and violence, that we’d rather protect our children from. 👉 Alcohol: Having alcohol present anywhere is a risk, but with children the risk becomes heightened and measures need to be taken to ensure nobody underage consumes alcohol. 👉 Accidents: Children are generally harder to spot, making them more accident prone, whether it’s being bumped into or falling over. 👉 Crime: Since they are easily targetable and more vulnerable, children are more susceptible to kidnappings and trafficking. Event organisers can hire experienced external safeguarding teams to mitigate the risk of the inevitability of having children present at their events.

Witnessing domestic abuse has profound impacts, especially on children. CPOMS empowers teachers and staff to log concerns, which then enables Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) to connect the dots and see the broader picture of those potentially facing these issues. This visibility fosters more timely and effective interventions. Discover how our safeguarding solutions can make a difference.
