Tusla has worked with the DCYA and HSE to developed a universal e-learning programme called ‘Introduction to Children First’. The programme has been written to support people of all backgrounds and experience in recognising concerns about children and reporting such concerns if they arise. The programme takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete but it can be done in a number of sittings. The programme will allow you to log back in and resume where you left off. It covers topics including:
-
Recognising and reporting child abuse;
-
The role of mandated persons;
-
The responsibilities of organisations working with children to safeguard children;
-
The role of designated liaison persons.
