Getting Started as a Designated Safeguarding Lead

Is your school adequately prepared to manage Child Protection and Safeguarding effectively?

Course Overview

LeapEd’s Child Protection and Safeguarding professional development programmes raise awareness of the best practice and build skillsets for all adults who work with children and young people.

Sustainable Development Goal 16.2: zero violence against children by 2030

We are dedicated to upholding the safeguarding and welfare of all children and young people. Our framework is aligned to: United Nations Child Rights’ conventions, Malaysian government legislation, international best practices by UNICEF and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
