Description
Safeguarding is everyone’s business. Regardless of an individual’s role, everyone has a duty to protect people's health, wellbeing and human rights, and enable them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect.
Isca Wellbeing recognises the critical importance of ensuring crew who work with children and young adults are trained to a regulated level, so they have enough knowledge and follow the correct procedures to protect the guests, themselves and their employers.
The training consists of the FAA Level 3 Award in Principles of Safeguarding & Protecting Children, Young People or Vulnerable Adults (RQF) course. In addition, through consultation with our clients, the training will include company, flag state and cruise/passenger ship specific policy and procedure information and guidance.
We work in partnership with the commissioning organisation to ensure delegates attending the training gain the knowledge and confidence to spot, act and appropriately report any and all potential safeguarding situations.
