Support the Rights, Diversity and Equality of Children & Young People

This online course will help you to understand the rights of children and young people and how they are intended to improve their life chances and outcomes. We identify your responsibilities to support those rights and how you can challenge policies and procedures within your organisation that are discriminatory, harmful or illegal.
The training will explore how you can work with children and young people in ways that respect their choices about cultural practices and beliefs.
We will help you to understand the implications and effects of discrimination, stereotyping and labelling on children and young people. We explain how you can promote and value equality and diversity when working in a residential childcare environment and ways you can empower children and young people to raise a concern or complaint.
