1. Safeguarding within British Equestrian
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and you have a role to play in that. This module will give you an overview of safeguarding in the equestrian context and help you to consider who needs protecting. By the end of the module you will have an understanding of what is in place to keep everyone safe and the way in which information can be shared when a concern arises.
2. Recognising Abuse
This module sets the scene with videos showing how abuse can happen in the equestrian setting. By the end of the module you’ll have an understanding of the different types of abuse encountered by children and adults at risk, and be able to identify signs that an individual might be being abused.
3. Responding to Concerns
It is vital that everyone in the equestrian environment has an understanding of how to respond to concerns and feels empowered to do so. This module will equip you with the know-how to report concerns in the correct way and where to find safeguarding resources should you need them.
4. Safe Environments
This module reminds us of the important role everyone has to play in safeguarding and how to ensure that we are all active bystanders. Having a position of trust means that you have a responsibility to ensure that participants are safe in equestrianism and enjoy their participation at all times.
5. Final Assessment
Using a range of scenarios, you will now take all that you have learned and apply it to an assessment of your knowledge. The final assessment is your opportunity to show how much you have absorbed and why it is so important to have safeguarding training.
Once you have passed your assessment, you will be able to download your certificate. Your pass rate will be 80% but don’t worry if you do not pass the first time, as you can take the test multiple times.
