About Course
This course provides learners with a comtextual understanding of child sexual abuse and guidelines in handling suspected disclosures of such cases in a preschool setting. Learners will also be equipped to conduct child sexual abuse prevention activities such that children learn to respect their bodies, differentiate between good and bad touches, as well as right and wrong actions, and to tell a trusted adult if they are touched inappropriately. These body safety knowledge and skills will empower children to protect themselves.
