Unit 1: Introduction to Safeguarding
1.6 Understanding abuse, neglect and exploitation?
How widespread is abuse, neglect and exploitation?
Watch the video above where you will meet Hasan, who is a learner on this course.
He is a Human Resources Manager based in Amman, Jordan and he has a question for the lead Educator.
Do you know the prevalence of exploitation, abuse and harassment in your country?
Myths and assumptions made about abuse, exploitation and harassment can actually prevent us from taking the right safeguarding measures.
Our views about who has been harmed and how and why they have been harmed are influenced by our individual or family values, beliefs and the cultural context we have been brought up in or work in.
This can impact on how we view this sensitive and often emotive subject.
