Course overview
Safety in Lone-Working with Children and Young People is a CPD-accredited course designed for professionals who provide one-to-one support to children and young people in educational, community and outreach settings.
Through practical guidance, real-world scenarios and reflective learning activities, the course explores how to work safely when alone, recognise rising risk early, use non-physical de-escalation strategies and make confident, safety-led decisions when situations become challenging. Learners will also develop their understanding of risk assessment, incident reporting, safeguarding responsibilities and post-incident support, helping them feel more confident, prepared and supported in their role.
How does it work?
The course takes learners through the complete lone-working journey, from preparation and risk awareness through to de-escalation, decision-making and post-incident support. Through practical examples, reflective activities and real-world scenarios, participants build the confidence to recognise risk early, respond safely and make informed professional decisions when working one-to-one with children and young people.
