Improvements to EduCare for Education
We are regularly adding new courses to our best-selling online learning service and we also update relevant courses when there are changes to legislation and guidance, such as Keeping children safe in education (KCSIE), without increasing the cost of the service.
EduCare is committed to continuously improving and developing our portfolio of courses
The following new courses have all been added to our service over the last six months. All of our existing customers are able to access the new courses at no additional cost and, as the service is available on an unlimited basis, all new members of staff can access all new content as well.
Supporting Staff Wellbeing in Schools
Staff wellbeing is of critical importance to schools, and whether you want to focus on your own wellbeing or are looking out for your colleagues, you will find information, guidance and support in this course.
It considers the meaning of wellbeing, its impact on individuals and the workplace, common mental health issues and the causes of work-related stress. The course also explores what positive staff wellbeing means in practice, and how you can help to create it for yourself and your school.
Overcoming Loneliness
Loneliness can affect anyone from any background at any time of their life. It is often associated with the elderly, but children and young people also become lonely and isolated.
This course is written in partnership with The Children’s Society, a national charity that works with the country’s most vulnerable children and young people. It will help you to understand what is meant by loneliness, the triggers for loneliness and how it can affect children or young people.
Raising Awareness of Asbestos
The purpose of this course is to help you understand what asbestos is, where it was used and the reasons why. It also covers asbestos regulation and good management for when asbestos is present.
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
The purpose of this course is to help you understand what adverse childhood experiences are and how they may affect children growing up. Using statistical evidence, the course also highlights the potential impact that ACEs can have in adulthood.
ot everyone who has been exposed to ACEs will have negative outcomes, but understanding ACEs will help support the work and relationships you have with children.
Serious Youth Violence
The impact serious youth violence has on individuals and the community is significant. Written in partnership with The Children’s Society, this course raises awareness of this major issue.
Online Safety
The purpose of this course is to help you understand how technology is changing, the nature of children and young people’s online world, and the risk and protective factors when going online.
The course has a wide range of practical advice on what can be done by you as an individual and by any organisation you work for. The course was written in partnership with Childnet International, a non-profit organisation working with others to help make the internet a great and safe place for children.
Later in 2019, we are planning to release a course on Staff Wellbeing as this is a key factor in the new Ofsted framework.
We are also working with YoungMinds on a Digital Resilience course.

As well as expanding our package, we have also made new courses available in our online shop, including a package of Health Awareness courses in partnership with SAPHNA that covers Diabetes, Anaphylaxis, Asthma and Epilepsy, a package of courses on Mental Health Awareness, also written with SAPHNA on Self- Harm, Depression and Anxiety and new courses on Risk Assessment for School Trips, Cyber Crime and Fraud.
