If you work for a development agency whose activities affect children’s lives, you should be interested in safeguarding. In this free one-hour professional development webinar, the instructors of HREA’s Child Safeguarding e-learning course (28 January-10 March 2015) will discuss why it is so important for you and your organisation to support and prioritise child safeguarding. This webinar will also introduce you to the principles and concepts of a child rights-based approach to meeting these responsibilities.
