A recent study revealed that 137,000 women in England and Wales are estimated to be living with the

consequences of FGM. To address this issue, the Home Office is championing a proactive approach and has

recommended that all schools and colleges undertake training and awareness on the issues that FGM presents.

This course will ensure you understand what FGM is, the symptoms of it and how to act. All staff who work

within a school setting must undertake this course.

As schools and colleges increasingly work online, it is essential that children and school staff are safeguarded

from potentially harmful and inappropriate online material. This course has been specifically designed for

Teachers and School Staff to protect and educate the whole school in their use of technology and establish

mechanisms to identify, intervene in and escalate any online safety incident where appropriate.

This mandatory course ensures that you are able to identify issues and protect students when they engage with

online content and with others.  

After completing this you should then consider other areas of school compliance.

This training addresses all forms of terrorism and non-violent extremism, including far right wing and extremism

threatening the UK.

Recent government statistics estimate that 8% of the UK's adult population experienced some form of sexual

exploitation as a child. Eradicating this issue requires all staff to be aware of the signs and the law that sits

behind it.

This course will ensure you understand what sexual exploitation is, the symptoms of it and how to act. All staff

who work within a school setting must undertake this course.

Being able to understand autism and the impact it has on a child's experience is important to understand if

schools are to ensure students enjoy their time and learn.

the guidelines which underpin a school's responsibilities.

Around three million people in the UK suffer from some form of eating disorder. Research also suggests that

some sufferers demonstrate symptoms as young as the age of six. Once again, schools are therefore expected

to help address this issue in order to eradicate it.

to act.

Learning difficulties

Learning is never a straightforward process and for students who demonstrate varying types of learning

difficulties, this can make understanding and progress a real challenge.

Learning disabilities can take many forms, each with varying impacts on an individual’s life and behaviour.

Learning disability training will help you to familiarise with the various types of learning disability and how these

affect learning and development. As learning disabilities take many forms, staff must be prepared to think on

their feet and learn to identify and manage the requirements of each student in their care. The learning

difficulties online training aims to raise awareness of the challenges facing people with learning disabilities,

while highlighting their potential strengths and capacity for independence.

By undertaking this training, staff at all levels of the school will develop a far stronger understanding of the

nature of learning difficulties, the ways in which it impacts on a student's experience and how we can begin to

help support them.
