The Level 2 Child Exploitation and Extra-Familial Harm course is designed to provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of the risks, warning signs, and safeguarding responses associated with child exploitation and harm occurring beyond the family home.

As safeguarding challenges continue to evolve across communities, social environments, and digital platforms, professionals working with children and young people must be equipped to recognise how exploitation can develop through peer groups, social media, criminal networks, and coercive relationships.

This course explores essential safeguarding concepts linked to child sexual exploitation, child criminal exploitation, online grooming, peer-on-peer abuse, and wider forms of extra-familial harm.

Learners will gain insight into how environmental factors such as schools, neighbourhoods, friendship groups, and online spaces can increase vulnerability, while also developing an understanding of multi-agency safeguarding practices and key UK safeguarding legislation. Learners will build valuable knowledge of safeguarding responsibilities, risk assessment, professional boundaries, and child protection procedures.
