The main learning objectives of the course are as follows:

  • To demonstrate an understanding of “significant harm” and the “threshold criteria”
  • To identify the range of orders available in child protection and their application within the court
  • To demonstrate an understanding of the law relating to adoption and permanency planning, particularly the Adoption and Children Act 2002
  • To explain the significance of case law and its importance for the legal process
  • To describe how to prepare for a hearing
  • To recognise how to conduct yourself around the courtroom

This course is CPD accredited and adheres to the training, support and development standards outlined in The Fostering Services (England) Regulations 2011. It is also tailored to where you live in the UK, adhering to each country’s own individual regulators - namely: Ofsted, The Care Inspectorate (Wales), The Care Inspectorate (Scotland), and The Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (Northern Ireland).

If you have 5 or more learners who require this training, you might like to consider our face-to-face option instead. 

Because each of our courses is created by a specialist within this sector, we have the expertise to tailor any course to your specific needs. You can even arrange for your own documentation policies or procedures to be included in your Learning Management System.

To discuss these options before making your booking - or to ask any other questions - please just get in touch via our live chat.

This course is intended for personal development only and does not provide a regulated qualification.
