College One: Child Protection Training and working with Vulnerable Adults...

• When working with children or vulnerable adults, I will have to work within the legislation whether I agree with it or not. 
• Safeguarding was put into action for the protection of children from maltreatment.
• Child abuse is when an adult harms a child under the age of 18. There are 4 types of child abuse, these are known as: sexual, physical, emotional and neglect.
• There is an MMU Child Protection Policy that is set in place that protects both me and the children that I will be working with.

Guidelines and Recommendations

• Maintaining a register of pupils I work with-mentoring. For example, if a fire alarm went off I would need to know where everyone is.
• Always work in an open environment and if possible have another person present.
• Avoid unnecessary physical contact and inappropriate familiarity with children. For example, will not be able to apply sun cream on a child's skin.
• Report potential concerns/allegations/reports of abuse made by children.
• Do not invite or allow children to socialise with me.

Responsibilities

• I have a responsibility too pass on any information that a child has told me that causes me concern for their welfare.
• Reassure the young person that they have done the right thing by telling me.
• I am not qualified to help but I can help by reporting it, I am there to listen.

Building trust and positive relationships.

• I would be a role model and would have to act professionally.
• I can be prosecuted if I do not pass on concerned information.
• I should tell either the project leader or any other teacher. 

Must NOT...

• Add the students I work with on facebook or any other social networking sites.
• Take pictures or videos of the children when working on events. If I want images for my blog, I would need to have signed image disclosure forms.
• Not to give out my personal information or contact information.
• Do not except any gifts or money or give any of these out.
• I am not responsible for giving out disciplines, I can say it is unacceptable, ask for them to be removed  form the workshop if there being too disruptive. I do not have to put up with any bad behaviour.
