INFORMATION ON TRAINING AVAILABLE The Bedfordshire LSCB are pleased to announce that we have purchased a new E-Learning package from the e-Academy on Basic Awareness on Child Abuse & Neglect. The package has been paid for by the LSCB, Connexions, Early Years and Bedfordshire PCT for the first year.
We have unlimited users free of charge to all agencies for this first year for the basic awareness on Child Abuse & Neglect and also 200 users for the Domestic Abuse course.
I would recommend that you offer this course to as many people in your agency as possible to complete this year as renewing the contract next year will probably be a fee per learner.
The course is ideal for everyone who comes into contact with children, young people, their parents or carers through their work in either the statutory or voluntary or independent sector and is endorsed by Bedfordshire Safeguarding Children Board and is in line with our Training Strategy.
The e-learning module and on-line assessment provides a flexible delivery route for Basic Awareness of Child Protection and Safeguarding Children.
What do the e-learning modules include?
Each of the e-learning modules include a mixture of scenarios, challenges and progress checks to reinforce the learning process. For a free demonstration, learners can visit the e-Academy portal www.safeguardingchildrenea.co.uk and select the ‘Demos’ option on the top navigation bar.
What is the e-Academy?
The e-Academy is an innovative solution specifically structure to enhance the learning process for those individuals and organisations who work with children.
There are vast numbers of people who need appropriate training in areas of child protection, who struggle to engage in the traditional classroom based delivery. The e-Academy will provide an alternative route to an excellent range of learning resources that can be accessed online. By utilising the internet to provide access to online resources there are no geographical restrictions. It will utilise a virtual learning environment, e-learning modules and online assessment to create a blended learning solution that enables a flexible, quality and consistent provision that engages learners.
A key part of the e-Academy model is the bringing together of a number of members within the field of child protection who share similar training requirements, and by doing so, create a powerful focused team who can quickly develop effective learning solutions.
In addition, the e-Academy will play an important role in helping facilitate the adoption of e-learning within member organisations.
The Benefits of the e-Academy
The e-Academy introduces a new dimension to the education and learning process by providing a vehicle for member organisations to share ideas and solutions.
The introduction of e-learning can bring a number of benefits, including:
Recognition of Achievement
The training modules incorporate a number of challenges and questions that will enable the user to determine their level of understanding. When ready they can proceed to the online quizzes, which will test their knowledge and record the results on their personal training record.
Individual achievement
When learners successfully achieve the pass mark for an individual module, they will be eligible for a certificate on completion.
What equipment is needed to undertake the e-academy programme?
All that is needed is access to a computer that has an Internet connection. The system has been optimised to allow minimum access time, but a broadband connection is preferable. The modules have been developed using Flash technology and a Flash Player needs to be installed on the computer. This software is freely and easily downloadable from the Internet and the relevant link is included with the training material.
