What you will learn

Build an understanding of children’s rights, safer environments, body boundaries, online safety, bullying, recognising concerns and getting the right help. Every course includes fictional examples, practical activities, references and links to video resources.

A global introduction

The adult course compares frameworks in the UK, USA, mainland China, Europe and Australia, with African examples from Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa. It distinguishes international principles from local legal duties.

Before delivering a course, a competent local safeguarding lead should verify current laws, reporting contacts and procedures. The programme is an introduction, not a complete worldwide legal compliance qualification.

About certification: Downloading a book or filling a template does not award a certificate. Shieldlet course completion requires the appropriate attendance, learning and assessment checks and an authorised signatory. No external accreditation, professional licence or government qualification is claimed. These publicly available materials support teaching and self-study; formal assessments should use supervised, equivalent questions where answers have been seen.
