This training contains the following modules:
- Introduction
- Abuse Awareness Part 1 ~ We are going to begin the training by talking about Awareness when it comes to abuse. We will answer these questions - who needs protection? What is abuse? And, how prevalent is abuse? As we discuss all of this, it will become increasingly clear that having a plan to protect and to prevent abuse from happening is so important.
- Abuse Prevention Part 2 ~ In this module we will discuss the definition of abuse so that we are all working off of the same understanding. We will also hear staggering statistics of the prevalence of abuse.
- Best Practices in Prevention ~ This module overviews the most common best safeguarding practices.
- Child Protection Procedures ~ This module overviews safeguarding practices for individuals working with children 0-12 years old.
- Youth Protection Procedures ~ This module overviews safeguarding practices for individuals working with teens 13-18 years old.
- Health and Safety ~ This module will equip the learner with tips on safety procedures, including medication use, preventing the spread of illnesses, and responding to emergencies and accidents.
- High-Risk Activities ~ This module overviews guidelines for reducing the risk of abuse, injury and harm when engaging in high-risk and off-site activities.
- Technology ~ This module overviews guidelines for using technology, including but not limited to online engagement, communicating online, social media, photography and computer use.
- Disability Initiatives ~ This module will equip the learner with tips on caring for and integrating individuals with disabilities into your programs and activities. This module meets the requirements for Accessibility training.
- Vulnerable Adult Procedures ~ This module overviews safeguarding practices for individuals working with vulnerable adults, including the elderly, new immigrants, and individuals experiencing distress.
- Sexual Misconduct, Harassment and Abuse ~ This module focuses on the misuse of power differentials that lead to sexual misconduct, harassment and abuse.
- Our Duty of Care ~ Together, we have a duty of care to each other and the organizations where we serve. This short module introduces us to "duty of care" and reminds us the standard of care that insurance companies and the courts will hold us to.
- Definitions of Abuse ~ As we conclude the training, we will unpack the definitions of the different forms of abuse.
- Reporting Child Abuse ~ The duty to report child abuse is the most important of all the laws that relate to a child's protection. This duty to report applies to each one of us, whether we have a mandatory duty to report or an ethical duty to report abuse.
- Responding to Vulnerable Adult Abuse ~ Unlike child abuse where we have a duty to report child abuse if an adult discloses they are being abused, we respond with care and empower them to exercise their own agency. This module equips the learner to respond appropriately when we learn of abuse against adults.
- Conclusion

After each module you will be directed to the testing component of the training. This will include a short case study and quiz questions. You will need to complete the quiz with a score of 80% prior to moving onto the next module. Once you have successfully completed the course you will receive a certificate. A certificate will provide proof to your organization that you have successfully completed the course. This will also demonstrate that you understand the importance of vulnerable sector protection and abuse prevention.
