OVERVIEW

About this course.

Babies — children under one year old — are the most vulnerable people any of us will ever care for, and they are also the age group at the highest risk of serious harm and death from abuse and neglect. A baby cannot speak, cannot move away from danger, cannot tell anyone what is happening to them and cannot ask for help. Injuries can be hidden under clothing or simply never seen by any.

The course covers the four categories of abuse as they apply to babies, non-accidental injury and the significance of bruising, abusive head trauma (shaken baby syndrome), safe sleep and SUDI risk, feeding and neglect, and exactly what to do — and who to escalate to — when something is not right.
