Leading Culture Change in Safeguarding PGCert

This course challenges you to envision new approaches to safeguarding people’s wellbeing throughout their life, and to advise how individuals can invoke change.

The course seeks to recruit practitioners, professionals, volunteers or those with significant interest in current safeguarding protection practices and challenges, reflecting the needs of a diverse student group. There is no requirement for applicants to be in relevant work or to have the support of their employer. Nor is there a need to have an undergraduate BA (hons) degree to apply successfully for this postgraduate certificate. Instead, applications will be assessed based on the application form and a preliminary informal interview and/or discussion about course suitability with the course leader.

Applications are submitted directly to the University using the online application process below.
