Children with disabilities are particularly vulnerable to
exploitation and abuse. Carers and workers need to be
vigilant to ensure disabled children’s voices are heard so
they are protected by a system that is sensitive to their
individual needs.This course looks at responding to
allegations and undertaking investigations and other formal
procedures. Participants from all agencies are encouraged
to develop sensitive interventions.
Learning outcomes cover:

services to this group.
- The barriers to effectively safeguarding disabled children.
- Ways to ensure these children have a voice in the
provision of services.
