Overview
If you’re looking to advance or start your career in adult or child protection, this is the safeguarding course for you. You'll be able to work across a number of sectors including health and social care, risk management, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), local authorities, the civil service, policy research and private sector management.
This Safeguarding and Security programme at London Metropolitan University allows you to learn about a wide range of contemporary safeguarding issues. You can explore everything from child abuse to modern slavery and criminal exploitation, cases of abuse within sports, and safeguarding in care homes.
In addition to looking at policy and frameworks, you’ll have the opportunity to analyse controversial debates around gender violence, vulnerabilities of refugees, plus culturally sensative safeguarding issues such as female genital mutilation (FGM) and forced marriage.
Our team of experienced lecturers will guide you through the factors that affect different vulnerable groups of people, such as children, young people, the elderly, people with physical or mental disabilities and migrants or refugees. By learning how to identify the people and populations who are most at risk, you can then begin to identify suitable resilience strategies.
Where this course can take you
Safeguarding is now a central concern across a range of institutions, including the public sector, private companies, NGOs (eg Amnesty International), charities and sports. Safeguarding roles are growing and this master’s degree can help you break into this area of expertise.
On successful completion of this course, you could work in a safeguarding role at schools, higher education, sports clubs, local authorities, charities, NGOs and social care.
