Welcome to the new E-Learning Presentation Series for Child Protection. The aim of these presentations is to support you in navigating the Child Protection Procedures for Primary and Post Primary Schools, 2017, in order for you to understand and fulfil your role as Designated Liaison Person (DLP) or Deputy Designated Liaison Person (DDLP). We recommend that you complete the presentations in sequential order. Please ensure you have a copy of the Child Protection Procedures to hand, along with the accompanying Participant Handbook which supports the full series of presentations. We have also prepared Slide Notes for each presentation. You can download and print all of these documents by clicking on the relevant links below. You can revisit these presentations as often as required. These presentations are intended for DLPs and DDLPs. If you have already attended a Child Protection seminar, you can revisit these presentations for revision purposes. If you have not attended a Child Protection seminar, these presentations cover everything that is addressed in the seminar. DLPs and DDLPs should also ensure that all school staff have completed the original PDST E-learning programme for All School Personnel (2018) which is available here |
