Essential child protection for everyone who works or volunteers in a UAE public or private school: teachers, teaching assistants and support staff. It is built on Federal Law No. 3 of 2016 on Child Rights (Wadeema's Law), the rules that go with it (Cabinet Resolution No. 52 of 2018) and the Ministry of Education's national child protection policy, with the extra steps that apply in Abu Dhabi private and charter schools (the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge, ADEK) and Dubai private schools (the Knowledge and Human Development Authority, KHDA). You will learn to recognise abuse, neglect and exploitation, respond safely when a student tells you something, report to your school's child protection lead without delay, and keep the professional boundaries that protect students and you.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:
12 questions are selected from a bank of 39. You need 80% to pass. 6 of them are must-pass: getting one wrong means the attempt does not pass. If you do not pass, the feedback points you back to the section each question came from. You have 3 attempts to pass. A pass is never counted, so you can always take the course again once you have passed. 5 attempts that do not pass within 12 months close the assessment for 12 months.
An employer sees whether you passed and your certificate. They never see your answers, your scores or how many attempts you took.
16 sections you can read or listen to, and a certificate when you pass.
One section is open below. The other 15, the narration, the transcripts and the assessment come with Premium.
Safeguarding means keeping children safe from harm and helping them do well. Under UAE law, a child is anyone under 18. In school, that means almost every student you work with.
Child protection is one part of safeguarding. It is what happens when a child is being harmed, or may be harmed. Safeguarding is wider. It starts much earlier, with noticing small things.
Keeping children safe is part of your job wherever students are in the school's care. The Ministry of Education's national child protection policy covers:
Protecting children is everyone's responsibility. You don't need to be sure that something is wrong. You need to notice it and tell the right person.
No single adult ever sees the whole picture of a child's life. A comment at lunchtime, a bruise or a change in mood may mean nothing on its own. Put together with what others have seen, it may be the thing that gets a child help. That is why your small piece matters.
Based on: Wadeema's Law (the UAE's child rights law) and the Ministry of Education's child protection policy.
