  • One in four people in the UK will have a mental health problem at some point. While mental health problems are common, most are mild, tend to be short-term and are normally successfully treated, with medication, by a GP. Mental health is about how we think, feel and behave. Anxiety and depression are the most common mental health problems. They are often a reaction to a difficult life event, such as bereavement, but can also be caused by work-related issues. In 2017, the government commissioned Lord Stevenson and Paul Farmer (Chief Executive of Mind) to independently review the role employers can play to better support individuals with mental health conditions in the workplace. The ‘Core Standards’ recommend employers of all sizes can and should put in place:
    • Produce, implement and communicate a mental health at work plan that promotes good mental health of all employees and outlines the support available for those who may need it
    • Develop mental health awareness among employees by making information, tools and support accessible
    • Encourage open conversations about mental health and the support available when employees are struggling, during the recruitment process and at regular intervals throughout employment, offer appropriate workplace adjustments to employees who require them

  • In order to ensure that new and expectant mothers in early years provision and schools can work without unacceptable risks to their health and safety, employers must be aware of:
    • any female workers who may be of child-bearing age
    • the effects of the physiological, hormonal and psychological changes that occur during pregnancy and the postnatal nursing period
    • any work activities, or aspects of the workplace, which may pose a particular risk to new and expectant mothers.

Pregnant women and nursing mothers undergo many physiological, hormonal and psychological changes during the term of their pregnancy, and during the postnatal nursing period, both of which might affect the level of risk associated with their work. Regulation 16 of The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 (MHSWR) requires a risk assessment to be carried out of the risks to the health and safety of pregnant workers, those who have recently given birth, ie during the past six months, or those who are breastfeeding. Risks include those to the unborn child or child of a woman who is still breastfeeding — not just the risk to the mother.

  • Our Safeguarding Children Online Course has been created because, first and foremost, each and every one of us has basic human rights. Chief among these is the right to be healthy, happy and treated well, regardless of race, age, sex or location. When these rights are abused in some way, it’s wrong. Therefore, it is vital that guidelines, policies, and procedures are followed to enable everyone, without exception, to live a life in which these basic values and rights are maintained and upheld. Regardless of their age, sex, religion, ethnicity, or background, every child has the right to a healthy, happy life. Child safeguarding is about minimising and managing the risks to vulnerable individuals, particularly children. Although most children are brought up in loving, nurturing environments and grow up to lead happy lives, the subject has to be discussed to better protect those children who need it most. During this Online Safeguarding Children course you will hear many facts, figures and details surrounding the risk to children, the types of abuse suffered, how to recognise the signs of abuse and key safeguarding legislations put in place to minimise the abuse of children. Once you are able to recognise the signs of possible abuse, and know the steps you should take if you suspect it you will be better able to protect the children in your care.
